The reigning American League Player of the Month for May, Judge has been “consistently dominant,” in Boone’s view. Judge believes he’s a better player than he was in ’17, citing “a couple-thousand at-bats” of additional experience. He’s got a great shot this year to repeat what he did in 2017.” Every time he steps in the batter’s box, it’s like he’s going to hit a homer or do something good for us. “It’s an honor, any time you’ve got Yankees legends like that, getting a chance to be mentioned in the same sentence or category,” Judge said. Before Saturday’s game, Aaron Boone was asked if Judge could reach 60 homers, a suggestion that the Yankees manager did not dismiss.
