WATCH: NY Yankees Star Slugger Aaron Judge Hits the Batting Cage With Roberto Clemente’s 38 Oz Replica Bat: ‘That’s a Man’s Bat’

Aaron Judge can not do anything wrong in the current MLB season. The New York Yankees star is going through a wonderful phase in his professional career. Apart from his dominant display from the plate, Judge has been an outstanding leader for the Pinstripes. He is the driving force for the Yankees this season.

After a series win in Cleveland, Judge and his team are in Pittsburgh to play a two-game series. Although the Yankees lost the first game to the Pittsburgh Pirates, Judge stole the show on Tuesday. The Yankees slugger got a taste of Roberto Clemente’s legacy at PNC Park.

Notably, Clemente has been an icon for the Pirates over the years. And Judge was fortunate enough to swing the legendary bat of the late Roberto Clemente. Talking about the game, the Yankees had a poor outing from the plate and mound. It was one of the rare games of this season when the Pinstripes failed to make an impact on the ballpark.

Unlike Aaron Judge’s giant stature, the Pirates legend Roberto Clemente’s was only 5 feet 11 inches in height. But the late MLB legend used to play with a heavy-weighted bat for the Pirates. Usually, it is difficult to swing a heavy bat, but Judge did not want to miss the opportunity to try the legendary bat of Clemente, even if it was a replica.

Per Talkin Yanks, Judge uses a bat that is 33 ounces by 35 inches. But he did not have any difficulties using the iconic bat of Clemente, which weighs around 38 ounces. Taking to Twitter, Marly Rivera shared the video of Judge swinging the iconic bat.

The Yankees’ catcher, Kyle Higashioka, was also in awe of the iconic baseball bat. He even said, “that’s a man’s bat.” Rivera informed the same via Twitter.

Coming back to the game, the Yankees lost it by 5-2. After losing the first game, the Pinstripes have to win the second game, else they will lose the mini-series. As things stand, the Yankees are still the best MLB team this season.

With 3000 hits and 240 home runs, Clemente was one of the best hitters in the game. His MLB career is decorated with 15 All-Star appearances, one league MVP, one World Series MVP, and the MLB Hall of the Fame.

Though it will be unfair to compare, do you think Aaron Judge will win the World Series MVP and the AL MVP this season?
