Aaron Judge’s ‘obsession’ will fill his quest for Yankees perfection
It isn’t fair, you know. Of course it isn’t fair. It isn’t right. Aaron Judge has been an almost perfect ballplayer to behold on a daily basis from the moment he won an everyday job for the Yankees out of spring training in 2017. When you look up his numbers, they all but emit a glow.
And here’s the other thing: He’s even better than his numbers, even though those numbers include: a lifetime OPS of 1.028; a lifetime batting average of .294; 368 home runs; three home run titles; and now a batting title. He’s also a superior defender. He’s also a plus base runner. He’s also a captain who only symbolically carries the “C” but earns it every day.
Aaron Judge, the Yankees and the burden of greatness: Another postseason test awaits
NEW YORK — Aaron Judge has established himself as the world’s best hitter, he’s now collected his first batting crown, and he could be on his way to a third MVP trophy. But, as the New York Yankees captain prepares to lead his team into a wild-card showdown with the Boston Red Sox, there’s a glaring weakness in his otherwise Hall of Fame resume: his lack of production in the postseason.
It’s not just that Judge has grossly underperformed in October compared with his regular-season numbers. It’s that he’s failed — so far — to shine when it’s mattered most, like the Yankees legends he resembles in so many other ways.

Yankees’ Aaron Judge embraces crucial ‘captain’ role ahead of AL Wild Card series
The post Yankees’ Aaron Judge embraces crucial ‘captain’ role ahead of AL Wild Card series appeared first on ClutchPoints.
The New York Yankees’ upcoming Wild Card bout against the Boston Red Sox figures to be a battle that will test each club’s ability to handle pressure-packed situations. Yankees All-Star Aaron Judge has faced similar circumstances before, but has yet to have a signature October showing.
Judge recently spoke about the expectations that come with being New York’s captain and was honest about how he has attempted to deal with past failures and setbacks.
“I don’t think they’d name me the captain if they didn’t think I could handle it. It’s part of it. That’s what I want. Especially playing in New York, the fans expect the most out of you every single night. They expect you to go 4-for-4 every night and win every game,” Judge told The Athletic. “You get a lot of heat when that doesn’t happen, but you got to be able to brush those things off and just keep showing up ready to work and giving your best.”
