Judge started as center fielder and third batter in an away showdown with the New York Mets in 2024 Major League Baseball at Citi Field in Flushing, New York, USA on the 27th (Korea time) and recorded 2 hits (one home run), 2 RBIs, 1 run and 1 walk in 2 at-bats.
In 2022, Judge made a new American League home run record by drawing 62 arches and shooting the most missiles among major leaguers who have not taken banned drugs, leaving a phenomenal record of 177 hits, 131 RBIs, 133 runs and a batting average of 0.311 OPS of 1.111 in 157 games. As a result, Judge enjoyed the joy of being named the American League MVP beating Shohei Ohtani, the “baseball genius” who was a member of the Los Angeles Angels at the time.
Judge, who had his best season, stayed with the Yankees through a nine-year, 360 million-dollar contract as a free agent, and drew 37 arches in 106 appearances last year despite not being able to play many games due to injury. And this year, Judge is once again challenging for home run king and MVP. If this trend continues, it is definitive that Judge will be named the home run king and MVP once again.
Judge made a very sluggish start to the season early this year. Notably, despite his batting average of just 0.220 in April, he had six homers, but his batting began to recover in May and exploded 14 arches in a month. The good trend continues through June, and he became the first player in the Major League to hit 30 home runs, shooting his 10th monthly and 30th season.
Judge got off to a good start in the first inning by garnering a walk after a six-pitch match against Mets starting pitcher Sean Manaea. In his second at-bat as a leadoff batter in the top of the fourth inning, Judge hit Manaea’s second at-bat of 89.3 miles (143.7 kilometers) and garnered a hit with a speed of 111.2 miles (179 kilometers). Judge couldn’t come to the batter’s box often as the Yankees’ lineup was weak on the day, but one hit occurred in the third at-bat. 에볼루션 바카라사이트
With no outs and no outs on the first base in the top of the sixth inning when Judge was losing 0-7, Judge faced off against another pitcher Danny Young of the Mets, and did not allow his fourth sweeper to rush into the middle of the strike zone at 1B-2S’ unfavorable count. Judge’s hit could feel that it was a home run at the same time as he left the bat. Notably, Judge’s hit flew 112.3 miles (180.7 kilometers) and flew 400 feet (121.9 meters) over the left fence before returning.
Judge played his part by getting on base in all three at-bats and was replaced by Trent Grisham when the score gap widened in the top of the eighth inning. And of course, Judge set a new record again on the day. According to Sarah Reims of MLBcom, Judge became the ninth player in history to hit 30 home runs twice or more in 80 games this season. Judge displayed impressive performance of 60 home runs.
