Aaron Judge’s Bench Warming Stint Unveils His Toughest Opponent: “He’s Nasty”

Even the best in the business face fear sometimes. Despite being one of the best hitters in the entire league, New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge remains cautious of his opponents. Right now, Judge is undergoing recovery from his second injury of the season. During one of his games earlier this month, while making a running catch, BAJ crashed into the outfield fence, banging his right toe pretty severely. When the reigning AL MVP was recuperating from his injury, Mookie Betts of the LA Dodgers unveiled Judge’s toughest opponent.

Seems like even the mighty AL home run king has his own fears of players. But who do you think would be to make Aaron Judge scared?

Even Aaron Judge can get scared too!

Contrary to popular belief, the 31-year-old outfielder from Sacramento, who has won numerous awards to his name, is also scared to face his opponents on the plate. Before going on the injured list, All Rise sat down with LA Dodgers’ outfielder Mookie Betts. One of the things that the duo talked about was about the pitcher, who is their least favorite pitcher to face.

When the Dodgers’ outfielder asked Judge about the same, the Yankees captain was resistant at first. He didn’t want to name the player because he did not want to jinx it. But then Betts revealed the name of his least favorite pitcher, and Judge then had no choice but to give in. Hence, with a smile on his face, he said, “It’s my boy, it’s my boy with the raise, Tyler Glasnow. He’s..he’s nasty.”  

Rays ace Glasnow has a total of 542 strikeouts of the season, giving 203 runs. Now, whether Aaron revealing the name of his least favorite pitcher to face would jinx it or not, would get revealed later on. But for now, Judge let his fans know he is also a human who has fears.

What did Judge’s host say about his toughest opponent?

Betts had to know who Judge’s least favorite pitcher in the league is. Hence, he said that he’d reveal the same as well.

Talking to Judge, Mookie said, “You remember Danny Duffy? I got to play with him, I talked to him. No matter when I was facing Danny, I knew I was going deep. He could not keep me in the yard, and he knew it.”
