The Yankee’s new player, Spencer Jones, is delighted about being compared to Aaron Judge. The lefty off-field player(6’6) who was selected by the Yankees in the first 2022 MLB Draft was the talk of the town, not only for his athleticism but also for his resemblance to baseball legend Aaron Judge. As both athletes cross the 6’5 inches line.

The fans are also excited to see the player play and join the mound, just like baseball legend Aaron Judge(6’7). As the height helps in bringing more velocity and hence giving the ball an extra force. However, despite sharing the same physical attributes as the legend, the player likes to be in the outfield area of the field and is still figuring out his place.

Recently, in an interview, a 20-year-old baseball player, while talking about the comparisons to the legend, stated, “He’s one of the best players in baseball with a storied organization.” Further, the athlete added, “It’s cool to be recognized like that,” as he highlighted the respect he has for Judge.

However, besides the height, the two athletes share a huge difference, as Judge is a five-time MLB slugger with the most home runs in a season, while Spencer Jones, who just joined one year ago, is still trying to figure out his place in the big leagues.

Recently, in an interview, the athlete also revealed that he doesn’t like to pitch that much, as he is more interested in hitting the ball. Jones who had to face many hurdles, including the pandemic in his freshman year, and suffering a UCL injury before joining is currently training to cut down on fat and add more rotation to the hips.
