Aaron Judge

"The Sultan of Swat" Babe Ruth was a baseball legend whose accomplishments on the field are still talked about today. His 714 home runs were a record that stood for 39 years. But in 2022, another Yankee outfielder came close to breaking that record: Aaron Judge.
Judge, who wears the number 99, hit a whopping 62 home runs in the 2022 season, a career high for him. It was the most home runs hit by a Yankee since Ruth himself in 1927. Judge's power at the plate is undeniable. He is a large man, standing at 6'7" and weighing 282 pounds. When he connects with the ball, it goes far.
But Judge is not just a one-dimensional player. He is also a good runner and fielder. In 2022, he stole 16 bases and had a fielding percentage of .983. He is also a leader in the clubhouse and is respected by his teammates.
Judge's 2022 season was one for the ages. He helped lead the Yankees to the AL East division title and was named the American League MVP. He also won the Silver Slugger Award and the Hank Aaron Award.
Judge is now a free agent, and there is a lot of speculation about where he will play in 2023. The Yankees are hoping to re-sign him, but there are other teams that are interested in his services. No matter where he ends up, Judge is sure to be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.
I had the opportunity to see Judge play in person in 2022. He is an amazing talent, and it was a thrill to watch him hit home runs. I am a lifelong Yankees fan, so I was especially excited to see him break the team's single-season home run record. I believe that Judge is one of the best players in baseball, and I am excited to see what he accomplishes in the years to come.
