We’d like to wish Yankees top prospect Aaron Judge a happy birthday today! The big man turns 24 years young.
Judge is off to a good start this season, as he tries to conquer the triple-A level. In 67 at-bats, he’s hitting .284/.306/.738 with two homers and nine RBI. He struggled after getting the call up to Scranton last season, so this early success is great to see.
Many expect Judge to take over the right field job next season since Carlos Beltran‘s contract expires after 2016. However, there’s always the possibility we could see him in the Bronx this year, whether it’s because of injuries to the Yankees outfield or a September call-up.
