Tampa. the show Aaron Judge paralyzed the country last year, on its way to 62 memorable home runs that served to break the record of 61 that I had Roger Maris of the largest quantity in a season in the American League.
None of this will count toward his 2023 season, but when the slugger hit a massive fly ball over the right-field wall during Monday’s game in which the Yankees beat the Pirates 9-2 at George M. Steinbrenner Field, it’s hard not to think about what the reigning MVP has planned for this season.
Judge hit his first Grapefruit League home run with a three-run RBI drive to the opposite field.
“It’s normal for us, but it’s exciting to see him doing it,” said Yankees starter Domingo Germán, who allowed one hit over three scoreless innings of work. “It’s exciting for the fans. There is a lot of adrenaline when it happens. He signed a great contract and I know that the fans come to see him do that, ”he commented to the Las Mayores.com portal.
Manager Aaron Boone added: “It was a good at-bat. We had good at-bats today, but it was nice to see him hit a ball like that to right.”
The 30-year-old Judge is entering the first year of his $360 million, nine-million contract after simultaneously being named the 16th captain in franchise history.
Judge finished his day by going 1-for-2 and is hitting .500 (4-for-8) with two doubles, a home run and three RBIs in four exhibition games.
The objectives.
“I have written goals, but my individual numbers always come by themselves,” Judge said at the start of camps. “I am focused on the team now. The game dictates what you have to do.
Judge was designated hitter Monday, and Boone mentioned he plans to put the slugger in left field for the first time in preseason on Wednesday and then again on Thursday.
Judge suggested the experiment of covering left field to Boone in the early spring so he could make room for Giancarlo Stanton in right, especially in home games.
