The New York Yankees successfully managed to retain one of the best outfielders, Aaron Judge, on the team. As the last season ended with disappointment for New York, so did the contract with Judge. However, the administration convinced the 30-year-old talents to sign a long-term contract with the team. And the best players dont come cheap, as the outfielder cost $360 million for his nine years of service to the Bombers. Shortly after signing the deal, Judge was also given the responsibility of leading the team as captain.
Aaron is also one of the biggest stars in the MLB because of his consistent performance in the game. The Yankees’ player also received the AL MVP award to mark his greatness as the best player in the league. But the fans and his opponents always remain curious about his secret to incredible consistency. It is easy for any player to perform in a season or two but to do it every year takes hard work of another level. And Judge is not shy of putting in work to become the best at what he does for a living. His Agent, Page Odle, once revealed Aaron’s secret to constant performance over the years. And the reasons why the Yankees have paid such a hefty wealth for the outfielder.
The Yankees Superstar Does What Most Does Not
When it comes to swinging and hitting the ball hard, long-limbed players are already at a disadvantage. Tall players with lengthy hands would automatically take longer time to swing their hands. However, Odle revealed that Aaron’s gifted athletic ability and fast-twitch fibers help him to avoid hard swings. The 30-year-old MVP could generate enough power for a home run with a limited swing in constricted time. The agent told that yoga and pilates are the major contributions to his consistency and remarkable success in the game. Other players might ignore these aspects of the game, but it’s of utmost importance for the Yankees outfielder.
There is a great saying about athletes they do the things that most people would generally avoid. Aaron Judge has a similar case. Apart from hitting the ball as long as possible, his speed and agility are also the reason for his expensive contract. Besides yoga and pilates, the MLB star also has a descriptive workout routine. The two-meter tall outfielder with massive strength workouts for two to three days during the season. He likes to do full-body workouts, which helps him fill his workout with heavy lifting. However, the routine completely changes in the offseason as he has more to recover. But the Yankees star says his main focus remains core as he is already a big guy and does not need more bulk.
