Aaron Judge has been the centerpiece of the New York Yankees’ recent success. Over the last month or so, he has played some exceptional baseball. Most recently, a Seattle Mariners player got into a friendly back-and-forth after Judge and the Yankees beat him. The Bronx Bombers’ 6’7″ captain put in a strong performance to help his team secure the victory.
Although the Yankees’ star outfielder has played well throughout this season, his form has been particularly good after his comeback. This recent game is a great example of Judge’s impact as he enjoys friendly banter with an opposing player.
