In the postseason, he was one of the best hitters on the team, hitting a combined five home runs through nine games.Not only is he hitting the ball well, he also brings a great glove to the outfield. The speedster has no problems in the outfield, tracking balls down in the gap. Bader's return could not have come at a better time.&quot;Saving our season,&quot; one fan tweeted.Stu@Qnzfinest84@TalkinYanks Saving our season@TalkinYanks Saving our season&quot;Extend this man asap,&quot; another fan tweeted.Harvey Specter@KennyDrizzyExtend this man asap twitter.com/talkinyanks/st…Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanksHarrison Bader in eight games since returning from the injured list12-for-26 (.462), 3 HR, 2 3B, 1.443 OPS1245Harrison Bader in eight games since returning from the injured list12-for-26 (.462), 3 HR, 2 3B, 1.443 OPS https://t.co/4BKNjUyBnRExtend this man asap twitter.com/talkinyanks/st…Josh Valentin 🗽@GrayPresents🥵 twitter.com/talkinyanks/st…Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanksHarrison Bader in eight games since returning from the injured list12-for-26 (.462), 3 HR, 2 3B, 1.443 OPS21Harrison Bader in eight games since returning from the injured list12-for-26 (.462), 3 HR, 2 3B, 1.443 OPS https://t.co/4BKNjUyBnR🥵 twitter.com/talkinyanks/st…Easton Freeman@Easton23DARTH BADER BABYYYYY twitter.com/talkinyanks/st…Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanksHarrison Bader in eight games since returning from the injured list12-for-26 (.462), 3 HR, 2 3B, 1.443 OPS3932246Harrison Bader in eight games since returning from the injured list12-for-26 (.462), 3 HR, 2 3B, 1.443 OPS https://t.co/4BKNjUyBnRDARTH BADER BABYYYYY twitter.com/talkinyanks/st…New York Yankees fans couldn't be happier with the performance Harrison Bader has been on.

If this is the player he will be all year, he will play himself into MVP consideration.Harrison Bader is the sparkplug that the New York Yankees neededCleveland Guardians v New York YankeesThe New York Yankees currently find themselves in the basement of the American League East. Realistically, they're not playing bad of baseball. They play in one of the toughest divisions in baseball. If the Yankees were in the American League Central, they'd be winning the division by two games.Injuries have plagued the team since spring training. They're currently without slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who will be out with a hamstring strain for weeks. They were just without their superstar Aaron Judge, who joined Stanton on the IL with a hip issue that hurt their offense.With Judge back in the lineup and Harrison Bader swinging a hot bat, the Yankees should be a much better team than they have shown. However, they have a test ahead as they take on the Tampa Bay Rays for a four-game series starting Thursday. This is the perfect opportunity to gain some ground in the division.
