There is no question that, when healthy, Aaron Judge is the New York Yankees‘ best position player. No one in the roster has the 10.0-WAR ceiling of the big right fielder, which makes him one of the very best players in the Major Leagues.
The only blemish in Judge’s young career, which includes a 52-homer season and a Rookie of the Year award in 2017, have been injuries. Physical ailments have robbed the Yankees’ star player more than 100 total games in the last two seasons.
According to New York Yankees’ legend Paul O’Neill, who knows something about playing in right field for the Bombers, injuries will likely keep being part of the Aaron Judge package simply because he is not your average baseball player.
