Aaron Judge Is Set To Have Another MVP Season
Judge has been spectacular in pinstripes this MLB season. The slugger has a .400 batting average in just 140 at-bats. The Yankees star tops the league with incredible numbers, and he’s looking to have another strong MVP season.
Judge has a .491 OBP with a 1.241 OPS. He has 34 RBIs and 56 hits. The Yankees’ offense has been pretty decent throughout this season. However, their pitching rotation seems to have room for improvement.
Yankees fans were thrilled with J.C. Escarra’s walk-off home run against the Padres. As for Aaron Judge, he continues his hot-hitting streak, and he’s all set to take on the Oakland Athletics in their next series.
