Less than two weeks after his Bronx Bombers debut, Jake Bauers crushed an opposite-field home run into the Yankee Stadium bullpen beyond the wall in left-center — a rare feat for a left-handed hitter. That 420-foot blast on May 9 captured the attention of Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who has continued to lean more and more on the 27-year-old journeyman in the months since. Originally called up in late April to help fill the Yankees’ left-field void, Bauers recently returned to his original position of first base in the sudden absence of Anthony Rizzo, who is out indefinitely with post-concussion syndrome.
