FanGraphs | Jay Jaffe: The best possible outcome of your plate appearance cannot be a single up the middle. Fly balls to the pull side do more damage than any other batted ball, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that Aaron Judge’s tear through the first games of 2020 have been fueled by him elevating and pulling the baseball. Even when he’s not going yard, like his two-hit outing on Monday night, the Yankees’ best hitter is launching balls to left field, and if he keeps it up, the sky is the limit.
