It isn’t fair, you know. Of course it isn’t fair. It isn’t right. Aaron Judge has been an almost perfect ballplayer to behold on a daily basis from the moment he won an everyday job for the Yankees out of spring training in 2017. When you look up his numbers, they all but emit a glow.
And here’s the other thing: He’s even better than his numbers, even though those numbers include: a lifetime OPS of 1.028; a lifetime batting average of .294; 368 home runs; three home run titles; and now a batting title. He’s also a superior defender. He’s also a plus base runner. He’s also a captain who only symbolically carries the “C” but earns it every day.
“Look,” Aaron Boone says, “Aaron Judge is the greatest player going.”
That’s it. That’s all. That’s perfect.
