‘He’s Out of His Skull’- MLB Pundit Heaps Praise on Yankees Slugger Aaron Judge for Being the ‘Face of the Franchise’

New York Yankees phenom Aaron Judge is having such a great season that he has become everyone’s favorite. No matter which team they support, almost every baseball fan wants him to succeed. Such is the kind of season he is having this year.

With 49 home runs already hit, Judge is on pace to break the American League record for the most home runs in a season. Given there are over 35 league games and postseason games, the Yankees slugger has a fine opportunity to break the historical record.

But Judge is Judge. He has never run after personal glories. As long as the Pinstripes are winning, Judge will not mind whether he breaks the home run record or not. And that is the main reason the Yankees fans adore him. Renowned MLB analyst Rich Eisen even called him the face of the franchise.

Aaron Judge is just ridiculous

Leave his hitting skills. Aaron Judge as a leader has been more impressive. Even though he is not the official captain of the team, Judge has been a leader in the Yankees clubhouse for a while.

While talking about Judge, Rich Eisen said he is only getting better. “He is out of his skull right now. And he is just going to only get better, and he is a great face of the franchise…” she said Rich Eisen.

If Judge plays well, the Yankees play well. It has been the story so far this season. Even during the free agency, the Pinstripes did not make any notable signings, Judge has been leading the Yankees from the plate.

DIVE DEEPER

Considering his current form, Judge is the favorite to win the AL MVP this season. And since the postseason games are not that far, the Yankees will need their All-Star player to continue his excellent form more than ever.

When talking about the Yankees, they have won five straight games, including a series sweep against the New York Mets.
