NEW YORK — Aaron Judge is the best hitter in baseball, and in a few weeks, he’ll win his second AL MVP award in three seasons. When he’s on, seeing him walk to the batter’s box is an absolute nightmare for opposing pitchers.
Unfortunately, though, since the calendar flipped from September to October and when the Yankees have needed him the most, Judge has been largely absent. As the Yankees return to the Bronx, they need Judge to wake up, or they'll watch their season come to a bitter end in the World Series against the Dodgers.
The Yankees’ captain is struggling mightily as his team faces a 2-0 series deficit, and it appears that baseball’s leader in home runs has begun to press.
