“Didn’t Mind His Name Being Out”: Derek Jeter and Aaron Judge Are ‘Total Opposite’ Personalities, Despite Having Many Similarities

Aaron Judge is not only a mere hitter for the New York Yankees, he has always been more than a player for the Pinstripes. The Yankees slugger knows how to lead and keep the team together. And he is one of the reasons the Yankees have the right environment in the clubhouse.

Knowing that Judge has a leadership trait, he is probably the only one who has come close to the legacy of former captain Derek Jeter. Just like Jeter, Judge also likes to remain calm and not get too excited or depressed regardless of the situation.

This season, Aaron Judge is on a rampage. With 57 home runs already smashed from the plate, the Yankees slugger is on a pace to break the American League home run record for a single season. Even though Judge is not the official captain of the team, the clubhouse considers him a leader.

Aaron Judge is quite different from the former Yankees captain Derek Jeter

Per the New York Post, despite having many similarities, Aaron Judge and Derek Jeter are two completely distinct personalities. Yes! Even though just like Jeter, Judge is a private person, the two are exactly opposite characters.

Notably, Aaron Judge likes to keep his personal life away from the limelight, while Jeter never minded such things. Unlike Judge, the former Yankees captain also had several relationships with Hollywood A-listers before getting married to model Hannah Davis.

“Jeter was private but didn’t mind his name being out there. He was showboat private,” an insider disclosed in 2020. “Aaron is the total opposite. He is quiet quiet.”
