SI.com | Gary Phillips: Yesterday, a pair of Yankees outfielders were recognized for their defensive prowess. Aaron Judge has been considered among the league’s top right fielders for awhile now, and he was honored by Fielding Bible as the best in baseball — even above four-time winner Mookie Betts. The site noted that his cannon led to 5 Outfield Arm Runs Saved, and that he tied for the MLB lead with a pair of home run robberies, nearly snaring a third as well.
Judge narrowly beat out teammate Joey Gallo for the right field Fielding Bible, but Gallo was among three AL right fielders named as Gold Glove finalists.
