Yankees’ Luke Voit credits teammate’s bat for hot hitting
New York Yankees slugger Luke Voit has been on a tear at the plate lately, and he appears to have a particular piece of lumber to thank for it.
After Voit smacked three hits for two runs and two RBIs in Sunday’s 11-5 win over San Francisco, he hinted that the success was due to his using teammate Miguel Andujar’s bat since the last homestand, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.
Luke Voit has been using Miguel Andujar’s bat since the last homestand. “There’s a lot of hits in it,” he said.

The 28-year-old Voit is raking right now with four homers, ten RBIs, and four multi-hit games in his last seven contests. Since that last homestand began on Apr. 12, Voit has raised his batting average from a rough .196 to a solid .283.
As for Andujar, he has yet to play this season due to a shoulder issue. But you can see where Voit is coming from, especially with what Andujar did last year.
