Here’s a scary thought for opposing pitchers: Near-unanimous MVP Aaron Judge said he didn’t reach all his goals last year.
, nearly won a batting title and a Triple Crown, played a near-perfect right field and was almost never caught as a base stealer.It’s hard to imagine how he could possibly improve. Perhaps there was a week he could have hit another homer or two. Or even a month. But the season? Hard to see it.
He does do some of that, too, but no one would suggest those roles are primary. The reality is, he will do whatever’s necessary, including batting leadoff. That worked last year when D.J. LeMahieu was out and Judge was on his way to the hallowed Roger Maris record, but presumably won’t be necessary again.
He does it all, even away from the game. He’s a natural ambassador, frequently taking time to treat fans to a picture or an autograph. He seems to sincerely enjoy that role, too. “If we go out there and have a winning season and put ourselves in position in the playoffs I think we’ll be happy no matter what the stats are,” he said.
