“I’m Not Done..”: Aaron Judge Makes His New York Yankees Role Clear After Receiving a Top MLB Honor

Aaron Judge has made a name for himself as one of the tallest players in Major League Baseball. His stature certainly gives him an advantage in the play, and his talent is easily visible on the diamond. Although he has recently been famous for breaking Roger Maris’ home run record, Judge plays as an outfielder for the Yankees. But he also added the position of center fielder to his list of skills a few years ago.

In a 2018 game, Judge shifted to the CF position in a game against the Blue Jays, which the Yankees won 5-3. Because of some absent players, ‘All-Rise’ had to fill in for some other members. But he executed his role perfectly, i.e. if the team scores are anything to go by. However, with the next season close at hand, will Judge go back to his regular duties?

Aaron Judge isn’t done playing center field just yet

In an interview with Brian Hoch of MLB.com, Judge discussed his recent plays. The 30-year-old is excellent at his outfielder job, but moving him to the center only made the Yankees’ game better. However, the Bronx Bombers now have Harrison Bader and may not require Judge’s services at center field anymore. But when asked about it, Judge simply said, “I’m not done in center field yet.”

Talkin’ Yanks on Twitter posted a video of Brian Hoch talking about the outfielder and his position. Hoch said, “Aaron Judge is not done playing center field. He told me that at the Baseball Writers’ Dinner. We were talking about Gold Glove awards. He played so much center field and he also played right field that the voters didn’t know where to put him.”

Now only the upcoming season will tell how it goes for ‘All-Rise’!

How did Judge perform at the center?

Judge’s large frame has helped him more than once in his play, and the 6 ft 7 in Yankees star is a sight to behold in the stadium. His powerful arm and stature have helped him as an outfielder, and while the center is a more difficult place to be, Judge flourished there as well. And while there are people who would love to see Judge continue in both positions, some think he should stick to the outfield.

Judge has a single recorded run save, which might not be spectacular stats, but they’re definitely something. If one looks at his whole career, Judge has a total of 61 DRS (Defensive Runs Saved).
