Juan Soto is happy to have New York Yankees star Aaron Judge batting three-hole behind him.

"It's nice to hit in front of [Aaron Judge]," Soto said, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post. "It just makes my job easier, and hopefully I can make his job a little easier, too."

Soto leads the league with a .431 on-base percentage through 77 games, while Judge and his .425 OBP rank right behind.

The two stars have powered the Yankees out to the top of the AL East with a 52-28 record heading into Tuesday.
