New York Yankees outfielder on pace for career year
Aaron Judge is having the best season of his already impressive career. The Yankees center fielder is on pace to hit 60 plus home runs, potentially passing Roger Maris for the team's all-time record.
Judge has played a key part in the Yankees' dominant start to 2022 as the team currently has an eight-game lead for the best record in baseball. Judge has continued to deliver in the clutch all season. Just this past week, Judge delivered two walk-off victories for the team.
The first one was a base hit down the left field line to complete the Yankees four-run ninth inning to beat the Houston Astros 7-6.
The second walk-off of the series came via a home run. Truly magical watching Judge play at times.
