Same As It Ever Was | The Yankees are Slumping, But for Aaron Judge, It’s Business as Usual

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.

Aaron Judge Makes The Remarkable Look Easy

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.

Three The Hard Way | Yankees Slugger Aaron Judge Could Walk Away With The Triple Crown

The Triple Crown is one of the most impressive feats in all of baseball. To achieve this as a hitter a player must lead his respective league in batting average, home runs, and RBI.

To date, there have only been 27 instances of a player accomplishing this feat. The most recent winner was Miguel Cabrera in 2012 while he was playing for the Detroit Tigers. However, one certain MLBbro came very close in 2022. That player is none other than New York Yankee All-Star Slugger Aaron Judge. Fast forward to 2024 and the MLBbro is in striking distance again.

In 2022 Aaron Judge won the American League MVP in historical fashion, breaking the previous American League home run record held by Roger Maris. Judge’s 2022 season was even more incredible as he led the league in home runs and RBI but ultimately fell short in his attempt at a Triple Crown by finishing just .05 points behind the batting champ that year, Luis Arraez. The MLBbro is back at it in 2024 and is once again taking a shot at the historic milestone.

The Yankee captain is solely focused on bringing the team their first World Series championship since 2009, but his play being stellar is the best way to do that.
