How has the Yankees slugger gotten better and better amid a pitching revolution?
The home runs are coming with such regularity … five on his last 10 flyballs, 25 in his past 49 games, 62 in his past 162 games, 129 in the past 334 games … that the danger is to take Aaron Judge for granted.
Judge is 32 years old. Ruth was 32 when he hit 60. Gehrig was 31 and 33 when he maxed out at 49 homers. Williams was 30 when he hit a career-high 43. Bonds was 36 with a MLB hitters swing at pitches out of the zone 28% of the time. Judge chases only 19.5% of the time, matching his rate from last season as a career low.5. One word of advice to pitchers thinking of throwing a challenge fastball to Judge: don’t.
