Yankees’ Aaron Judge on recent
slump: ‘It’ll turn around’
BY ALEX MITCHELL
“A little dinker” that
Aaron Judge hit late into Saturday’s
walk-off win against
the Washington Nationals
could catalyze the snap of his
recent slump, the slugging
right fielder said Sunday.
Putting it bluntly, Judge
acknowledged lately “it’s been
terrible” as he’s struck out for
15 of his last 29 at bats while
yielding only five hits in that
same split, a snag which he attributes
from trying to “just
kind of do too much at the
plate.”
Judge also alluded that his
recent over-aggressiveness
involved the Houston Astros
long awaited return to Yankee
Stadium being saddled backto
back with a competitive series
against Washington.
Judge addressed a recent
tendency to “make things happen
when they weren’t there,”
saying that he should have
been drawing more walks in
his recent at bats – that along
with executing better on
pitches.
“The mistakes I’m getting,
not really putting them in play
I’m either fouling them off or
missing them and then just
expanding out of the zone,”
Judge said.
Yankees manager Aaron
Boone also spoke on Judge expanding
out of the strike zone
lately, especially on two-strike
counts.
“I feel like he’s been
pitched really tough this
home stand … when you do get
a pitch, you’ve gotta stick it,”
Boone said, noting that Judge
has lately spoiled too many of
those chances foul.
Boone, who sat Judge on
Sunday called on the right
fielder to pinch hit in the ninth
inning with the game tied at
two apiece – he drew a walk
which put the game winning
run into scoring position.
The Yankees skipper also
said the right fielder continues
to battle with “lower leg stuff.”

“He’s okay,” Boone said,
explaining his logic of “just
trying to be proactive” and
taking advantage of Monday’s
off day before the team travels
to Tampa for an on-turf series
with the Rays.
Judge has actually been
“better and better all week
physically,” according to
Boone.
As far as the recent slump,
Boone said it’s “not something
I’m worried about with
him.”
Meanwhile for number 99
himself, Judge says he’ll continue
to make adjustments
while jumping back into the
batting cage, watching video,
and talking with hitting
coach Marcus Thames.
Referencing that ninth inning
“dinker,” Judge is hopeful
it will bring him back on
the right track as “that’s usually
how you start a hitting
streak.”
“It”ll turn around,” he
said.
