The very calm Aaron Judge, who became the season recorder breaker by the end of the 2022 MLB world series, had a very struggling season. The slugger made himself an MVP by going through a lot of heating moments in the season. As a matter of fact, scoring 62 home runs must not have been easy! This one intense battle of Aaron Judge will always be remembered, which almost boiled the Yankees player.
Once in August weekend, when it was New York Yankees versus Toronto Blue Jays, Aaron Judge was hit by Alek Manoah on the shoulder with a 92 mph sinker. Apparently, the injured part of Aaron’s body has been targeted previously also. At the same spot earlier in the game, he was about to get hit by Manoah. Judge’s injury led the team into fear of losing the game, as the Yankees were already playing some of the worst baseball matches in the league.
Seeing the all-star getting injured made all the Yankees frustrated. Aaron Judge was almost on the verge of getting boiled, but he managed to explode his anger only through some words. After getting the shot on his shoulder, the Yankees slugger was soon taken to the damage control room. But this could not let those anger get in peace. Gerrit Cole from the Yankees emerges to limit his anger to a few hard words. Fans got to see the very intense moment of the game. But somehow, the Yankees’ frustration was given relief as the team made victory by securing a 4-2 win.
Despite The Anger, Aaron Judge Had To Move On Several Times In Order To Become The MVP
Meanwhile, the Media tried to dig out a few words from Aaron Judge’s mouth. ESPN asked him about the incident; Judge said, “It is one of the heating moments. Obviously, no one likes to get hit or get injured.” Aaron Judge explained that everybody was already watching the show, and everybody was into it. It does not matter who gets hit. It gives them a chance to take exception to it. One can just say dugout, but then you have to move on.
Aaron Judge believes that after getting targeted in the game, one can only get pissed. He was also pissed off after getting hit by Alek. Of course, he did not need anybody else to get thrown out for him getting hit. So Aaron was just trying to move on in order to perform well in the next games. While explaining the incident, Aaron referenced Anthony Rizzo’s big bat hit. The 62- home runner Judge said, “Rizzo had a big at-bat behind me. I would be a little happier with getting a couple of runs instead is brawling out there.” However, as they needed to move on to the next play, Judge and Rizzo took care of the business and proceeded to further wins.
