The last week or so has been a rollercoaster ride for Aaron Judge. He helped guide the New York Yankees to a crucial series win over the Toronto Blue Jays. But that series was filled with controversy. Judge was accused of cheating when he was caught looking into his dugout during an at-bat. He has since been proven innocent. 

The incident was cleared up as more details came forth. But it still left a negative perception in the media. But a Hall of Fame pitcher recently revealed a drastic measure he would’ve taken if he was on the mound. 

Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez says that he would have hit Aaron Judge with a pitch 

The Aaron Judge cheating controversy was cleared up when a Blue Jays pitcher admitted his mistake. But Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez has a different view on the incident. He recently said that he would let Judge ‘wear it’ if he was on the mound and caught the outfielder looking into the dugout. This means that he would hit the Yankees captain with a pitch and let him ‘wear it’. Baseball insider Evan Daniel reported what Martinez said on Twitter.

In a Tweet, Daniel said, “Pedro Martinez just said he would’ve let Judge wear it in Toronto if he was pitching on the mound and he saw him looking into the dugout or first base coach lol.” This is a truly drastic action from the Hall of Fame pitcher, but he was known for being fearless.
