While having a potential MVP season, it is natural for the old videos to resurface. One such video of the Yankees star player Aaron Judge recently came up. The video shows the man as a probable prospect on the field to get some batting practice done. He came into the nets while genuinely nervous and wanting to leave a good impression on the organization.

Now looking at the career he’s had with the Yankees, he has impressed many outside of his organization. Although it was right for him to be nervous at the time, ‘All Rise’ did not have anything to be worried about.
How did Aaron Judge feel about the first batting practice?
From the looks of Judge, the interviewer found the 6-foot 7-inch player to be pretty intimidated. With an awful lot of power, Judge came on the field and actually had some pretty good hits out there.

But he was not like that from the start. “At first I was a little bit nervous everybody watching me, the first impression really, the organization is gonna have of me, but I settled in, and I felt good,” Judge said.
It wasn’t only the organization he wanted to leave a good impression on, but also his parents, who drove with him for his first batting practice.
Fans were amazed after watching the recently discovered old video of a 21-year-old nervous player, Aaron Judge, who went on to become All Rise.
Who did Judge want to meet?
The reason Judge drove all the way to Yankee Stadium was for the first batting practice as well as to meet Robinson Cano. Most of the fans were rather sarcastic than looking at how far Judge has come.
He will never hit 59 home runs

Judge won’t become an all-star?
He might become a decent player, don’t see him being an all star tho

So much movement before the swing there’s no way this kid can catch up to major league velo or adjust on the off speed. Another first round pick wasted by the FO.

No way a guy like him works out. Way too big and injury prone

This guy remembered going to the stadium and looking at Judge
I remember going to spring training with my dad. We were watching BP on some of the backfields and were wondering who this monster was hitting bombs over the batter eye. Little did I know lol

His swing looks completely different now. It's crazy.
