‘Got a Lot of Guys That Have Won World Series’- Star Slugger Aaron Judge on How a Veteran Squad Has Contributed to NY Yankees 2022 Success

New York Yankees are running riots in the ongoing MLB season. The Aaron Judge-led team has been the most balanced side of all the MLB teams. Players like Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gerrit Cole, and Nestor Cortes Jr. have been giving their everything while playing for the Yankees.

What makes the Yankees roster special is that they are versatile. Every player knows their role in winning the games. Recently, Judge opened up about how the veteran players have helped the Yankees become a successful team in the first half of the 2022 season.

When the 2022 regular season kicked off, no one even imagined the Yankees would be among the title favorite. But here they are, playing their best ball game night-in and night-out.

Aaron Judge believes the experienced players have been the key to success

Per his latest interview with David Cone, Aaron Judge shared his views on why the Yankees have been a successful team this season. He said every player trusts each other in any situation. And being a group of veteran players has also helped the team to win games.

“We got a great ball club. I think a lot of guys have confidence in each other. And when you got a team of great ball players that trust each other and go out there and compete every single day, it makes for some fun days at the ballpark… We are kind of an older group. So that kind of helps out too,” Judge said.

Apart from the Yankees, the LA Dodgers, New York Mets, and Houston Astros are also making a powerful statement for the World Series title.
