Weekly Check In: Aaron Judge

Aaron Judge is beginning to worry the masses as we slowly enter June baseball in 2016. Judge was slow to master Triple-A pitching in 2015 and it has been much of the same in 2016. Judge came out of the gates on fire this season and a slight mechanical adjustment was to thank for it but since then Judge is back to hitting in the low .200’s with power but far too many strikeouts. The breaking stuff still fools Judge and the low and away stuff still tempts the Judge more than it should.

Frankly I am not personally worried, and I do understand that people have to write about it to get clicks and views, about Judge. We’ve seen many struggle at Triple-A and the minor leagues in general only to dominate MLB pitching. See Robinson Cano. When he struggles in the Bronx, that’s when I’ll worry.
