BALTIMORE — This latest pinstriped revelation did not arrive primarily via analytics, nor by the Yankees’ ability to solve some Sphinx-like riddle and procure some secret sauce.

No, if you ask Mike Tauchman and the people around the Yankees about how he became such a crucial member of this team so quickly, after arriving as a late-March Band-Aid, you’ll find this to be more of an old-school inspiration: Tauchman, the 28-year-old outfielder who had done virtually nothing at the major league level before this season, surged offensively, while continuing his strong defense, thanks to old yet cherished attributes like maturity and work ethic.

“Yeah, kind of just realizing what is important,” Tauchman said Tuesday in the Oriole Park at Camden Yards visitors’ clubhouse, before he homered, doubled and robbed Pedro Severino of a homer to help the Yankees post a 9-4 win, their seventh straight, over Baltimore. “Things you really have to stay on top of. It’s nothing like reinventing the wheel or anything. It’s probably what most of us talk about. I just got a little bit better at it. And more comfortable with it.”

What’s important, Tauchman realized simply enough, is the consistency of his swing path and mechanics, which resulted from consistent preparation.

“Right now, he’s in a good place, and he’s worked his tail off,” Yankees hitting coach Marcus Thames said of Tauchman.

The results have been clear for all to see. Tauchman, whose prior big-league experience consisted of 52 games and 69 plate appearances with the Rockies during the 2017 and 2018 seasons, during which he posted a .153/.265/.203 slash line with zero homers, now owns a remarkable .299/.371/.563 line with 10 homers, including three in this current series, in 60 games and 174 at-bats.

Making his 50th start for the Yankees — he started a total of eight games with Colorado — Tauchman, batting ninth, opened the game’s scoring with his third-inning, solo homer to right field against O’s starter Asher Wojciechowski, giving him three round-trippers in three consecutive at-bats. That run ended when he struck out in the fourth, yet in the bottom of that inning, he showed off his other tool, leaping well over the left-field wall and grabbing Severino’s blast away from a fan wearing a Derek Jeter Yankees jersey, hauling it back onto the field and screaming ecstatically at what he had just done.

“I wanted to get to the wall fast,” Tauchman said. “[That] sort of gave me some time to time my jump.”

“I’m glad he was over there and not me,” the 5-foot-11 Brett Gardner said of the 6-2 Tauchman.

“About as good a home-run robbery as you see,” said Aaron Boone, who added, “His reactions are pretty good. … He plays with a fire, he plays with a passion. To see him really get comfortable, coming out at this level, it’s been good to see that. Him just growing his game.”

When Tauchman arrived from the Rockies as coverage for the injured Aaron Hicks, Thames told him, “Let your athletic ability take over.” To let that happen, Tauchman developed a routine, the centerpiece of which is work in the batting cage with the fastball machine.

“Keep my eyes locked into as close to game-like velocity as I can get,” he said in another recent interview.

“He comes in, he has a plan, he gets in the cage and he hits off the machine every single day,” Thames said.

You won’t find an extreme makeover here.

“No mechanical tweaks,” Thames said. “More of a mindset. Just taking his A swing in the game.”

Remember in “The Bronx Tale,” when Robert De Niro said, “The saddest thing in life is wasted talent?” Tauchman, honoring that code, has ensured that his own Bronx Tale will be anything but sad.
