It’s about that time of year when I simply cannot resist anointing Aaron Judge with the At-Bat of the Week every single time. It’s not a difficult decision considering the many fantastic at-bats he has each and every game. Last week, I reported that Judge’s quality of contact was somehow improved relative to last year, and nothing has changed. His xwOBACON sits at .680. If he hits the ball in play, it’s almost surprising if it doesn’t go over the wall.
A few days ago, the Yankees matched up against Bryce Miller, a rookie pitcher with one of the best four-seamers in the entire world.
