Last year, the Yankees captain, Aaron Judge, demonstrated his power-hitting prowess by unleashing torrential 62 home runs that engraved his name in baseball history. The prospect of him replicating or exceeding that achievement this season, despite his intermittent appearances, speaks about his natural talent. Not to mention his unwavering dedication to the game but.. What if?

The real intrigue lies in the “what-ifs” that hover around his performance this year. Each swing of the bat has kept fans and analysts wondering what he could have achieved if he participated in an entire season. Had the Yankees 16th captain been a constant presence on the field, could he have matched or surpassed his previous year’s record? Before delving into this record-making or-breaking aspect, a recently surfaced tweet from a fan has caught all the attention, justifying Aaron being paid such a heavy salary. 

Despite On and Off Presence From 2023 Season, Aaron Judge’s Stats Remain Uncompromised

Sports and statistics are intertwined. Some numbers stand out as more than just figures on a page. They narrate stories of potential, missed opportunities, and the undying search for greatness. A recent tweet encapsulated this sentiment, proclaiming what has left a frenzy in the comments section. “This is one of the craziest stats I’ve seen. There’s a reason Aaron Judge is being paid $40,000,000 a year“, the tweet said.

All Rise’s, towering force in the New York Yankees‘ lineup, has been making waves this season despite a limited presence on the field. Having played in only 72 games thus far, Judge’s prowess shines through as he currently occupies the fifth slot in the AL home run leaderboard with having homered 27 Home Runs. But what’s the reasoning behind such a substantial investment? 

Aaron Judge’s Crazy Stats Brought Mixed Sentiments From Fans

The financial aspect now comes into play. The tweet’s assertion that a 5x All-Star’s annual paycheck reaches an astonishing $40,000,000 raises deep questions. The rationale here does not lie in his abilities alone, but the promise of what he could accomplish, given the opportunity. These stats do however, confuse some fans. Here what they had to say.

Aaron’s contribution to the diamond is impeccable. Fans go on to even say that he probably deserves more.

People do acknowledge that he is not in the best team considering their performance.
