Aaron Judge wins American League Player of the Week

By -

As first announced by Major League Baseball a few hours ago, Aaron Judge has been named the American League Player of the Week. The awards keep coming for the Yankees’ right fielder, who has been consistently dominant all season long, both offensively and defensively.

Over the past week, Judge hit an incredible .500/.600/1.000, all of which were tops in the AL. He crushed three home runs, in addition to six RBIs, six walks, and ten runs scored. Of the six games the Bombers played, Judge collected four multi-hit games. The biggest moment of the week was undoubtedly the mammoth 495-foot bomb he hit against the Orioles yesterday. It was the longest homer of his young career, and tied for the second longest ever measured by MLB’s Statcast.
Thanks to his huge week, Judge now leads the American League in all three of the Triple Crown categories. While it’s still early, it is an impressive feat nonetheless, and one baseball fans should keep an eye on as the season progresses. He would be the first player to win the award since Miguel Cabrera in 2012 and the first Yankee to accomplish the feat since Mickey Mantle in 1956.

Aaron Judge has turned the heads of everyone around the world of baseball. He is racking up awards, while putting up video game-type numbers. As he continues to slug his way through the season, the question asked by everyone is: What else can this phenom do?

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
