Aaron Judge is off to an explosive start as the Yankees right fielder in his first full season in the majors.
For the Yankees scouting department, this truly was a case of go big or go home.
Judge, who stands 6-foot-7 and weighs 282 pounds, was the biggest of gambles in the first round of the 2013 draft, the 32nd player chosen, the second player the Yankees took in that draft after using the 26th pick on third baseman Eric Jagielo, who is now at Double-A with the Reds after being included in the deal for Aroldis Chapman.
