Aaron Judge took the baseball world by storm in 2017, surprising many people across the league in his first full season with the Yankees.
Judge was called up to the big leagues in August of 2016 and struggled. He hit .179 and struck out in 42 of his 84 at-bats, while only walking nine times. However, Judge showed a lot of improvement during Spring Training in 2017, when he won the starting right field job.
In his first full season in with the Yankees, Judge slashed .284/.422/.627. He drove in 114 runs and set the rookie record for most home runs in a season with 52.
