New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is on his way to having a legendary career. After hitting 62 home runs, he was awarded the 2022 AL MVP, returned to the Bronx, and became the Yankees captain. All of it could not have been possible if it wasn’t for the immense workout regime that kept him fit throughout the season. Even though the regular season is more than a month away, spring training isn’t. Even if it wasn’t, working out never stops for athletes.
Judge’s tremendous play and huge fanbase also reaped other benefits for him, one of which is to become the face of many brands. Aside from promoting brands like JBL and Hulu, he also endorses the naturally alkaline Hawaiian volcanic water brand, Waiākea. In a recent ad campaign for the water brand, the outfielder posted a picture of him in his gym, getting ready for anything with a bottle of Waiākea in his hand. But instead of focusing on the bottle, fans focused on the athletic build of the captain.

The athlete’s fanbase has only increased ever since he made his MLB debut in 2016. He wrapped up his rookie season with his remarkable play, securing the award, the Rookie of the Year. Since then, his growth in and out of the ballpark has only sped up. The 6 foot 7 inches giant has continued working on his body and game. And from the looks of it, he does not seem to be stopping anytime soon.
After the captain of the New York Yankees posted the promotion of the water brand on Instagram, many fans of the both the player and the Yankees responded in the comments. Following are some of the reactions by fans who focused more on his athletic build.
Aside from Judge and the bottle in hand, the picture also showed a couple of 75 lb dumbbells that a user wished Judge was using. He wrote, “I hope he was curling those 75 lbers!.” Whereas another user wrote, “The 75’s are just for warming up …” Looking at Judge’s athletic build, one can say the 75 lbs dumbbells were just for warming up.
Meanwhile, a user said, “One that doesn’t look like a 8 ounce bottle in your hand.”
