Aaron Judge is enjoying another spectacular season so far in 2018. After running away with the Rookie of the Year last season, Judge currently ranks in the top ten in baseball in offensive WAR, at-bats per home run, and runs created. He also sits in the top five in home runs and walks. Any concerns of a sophomore slump should be tossed out the window as the now two-time All-Star has asserted himself as one of the game’s prominent stars.
Part of what makes Judge so great is his ability to make adjustments. As a struggling youngster who struck out in half of his at-bats in 2016, Judge’s whiff issues were calmed by the reality that he always took time to get going following each promotion through the minor league ranks, and the majors would be no different.
