Aaron Judge never will hit consistently. Not in the majors, where pitchers are so good and will exploit his enormous strike zone. He is going to whiff too much, especially against righties who can sweep the ball away from his long swing.
Remember that assessment? It was based mostly on 42 strikeouts in 84 at-bats late last season in Judge’s debut. Admit it, if you are a Yankees fan, you were thinking: The team should trade him before he loses all value. Maybe the White Sox would be dumb enough to take him as part of a package for Chris Sale.
