The New York Yankees are one of the best teams in Major League Baseball, and it has been very prevelent since the calendar switched over. David Schoenfield of ESPN gave their first month of the 2026 season an "A", and it is perfect.

The Bronx Bombers have been a perfect team. Pitching has been incredible, minus two of their stars still in their rehab assignments in the Minors. At the plate, this team ranks amongst the best in all of baseball in multiple categories.

According to Baseball Savant, this team has the highest average exit velocity with 90.9 MPH. That means, whenever a Yankee gets to the plate and gets the bat on the ball, expect it to fly off of it. That has helped them with their team total of 60 home runs, which is the most for any team in baseball.

Now that we have entered May, this team has not shown any signs of slowing down. currently on a five-game winning streak, the Yankees just swept the in a four-game series with a run-differential of 39-10.
