- .373 batting average (2nd in AL)

- 193 wRC+ (4th in AL)
- 19 hits (6th in AL)
- 7 doubles (2nd in AL)
The .429 BABIP is still unsustainably high, but there's reason to believe this is more than just Solarte getting lucky in a small sample size. He's got a 10.3% BB rate and a 13.8% K rate, so he's displaying an understanding of the strike zone and some good contact skills. He popped his first career home run last night too, and his .196 ISO is more than good enough to get it done in an everyday or bench role. Eventually the BIP luck is going to turn and his numbers will go down. For now though, he's fun to watch and he's giving the Yankees way more than they hoped for. Strange to say, but he might be the most popular Yankee in town right now.
