New York Yankees have been going through a metamorphosis, sprucing up their roster with top-notch players like the outstanding pitcher Carlos Rodon and other phenomenal athletes. However, the team was still struggling to fill in the gap in their left field. Despite having Aaron Hicks in the position, his performance on the field was rather underwhelming, leaving the Yankees in a bit of a conundrum. That is until Aaron Judge stepped up.

The captain made history last season with his impressive home run record. And rumors have been swirling that Judge may be shifting his focus from his usual position to tackle the left field. In a video that’s been making rounds on Twitter, fans see the sensational slugger looking right at home in the particular spot. He might just be the answer the team needs to finally fill in that gap.
