Aaron Judge has been on a tear for the Bronx bombers. He has a .313 batting average with 32 home runs which leads the league. He started the season slowly, leading some to say he wouldn’t come back to his MVP form but this version of Aaron Judge is nearly identical to the 2022 MVP season.
In 2022 Aaron broke Yankee Hall Of Famer Roger Maris’s American League home run record. Judge, the team captain, holds the record now at 62. He’s on the same pace as 2022. With those 32 home runs at the midway point, it is very possible that we can be watching Judge re-create or even top his season from two years ago.
Over the last few weeks, the Yankees have not been performing well, even with Judge playing great baseball. This past June the Yankees played their worst baseball of the year. This raises concerns simply because the Bronx Bombers still have two dynamic hitters in the lineup with Judge and Luis Soto. Aaron’s fire-power at the plate hasn’t been enough for the Yanks, but the problem hasn’t been with him; it’s been sort of a chemistry problem. The Yankees added new first baseman Ben Rice and DJ LeMahieu recently came back from injury. Somehow, they don’t seem to be fitting in properly and just like in 2022, the Yankees are looking to Judge to homer them out of their slump.
This MLBbro just may be putting on another historic season but with the team playing so poorly, we can’t tell. In 2022 the season didn’t end with a championship, this season however can be different.
