Yankees: Aaron Judge’s defense should not be forgotten

Since 2017, the Yankees right-fielder has averaged 35 home runs, 79 RBI, and 93 runs scored per season. If you made it an average of 162 games per year, then Judge would be averaging 47 homers, 104 RBI and 123 runs scored per year.

Let’s also not forget how hard he hits the baseball. He has an average exit velocity of 95.1 miles-per-hour since the start of 2017. That’s the best of any major leaguer during that span, with a minimum 750 baseballs hit. For context, Twins’ slugger Nelson Cruz is second in the majors with a 93.
