Yankees 493.1 billion won There is no end to the fall of the superstar

There is no end to the fall of New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge (32). The excitement of home runs in two consecutive games at the end of April has also disappeared.

Judge started as designated hitter No. 3 in the 2024 Major League Baseball away game against the Baltimore Orioles held at Camden Yards at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland, USA on the 3rd (Korean time), and recorded no hits in two at-bats, one walk, and one strikeout. Season batting average 0.197.

Judge hit home runs in two consecutive games for the first time this season in an away game against the Milwaukee Brewers on the 28th and 29th of last month. During this period, he had 5 hits in 8 at-bats (2 home runs), 5 RBIs, and 3 runs scored. However, in the four-game series against Baltimore that started on the 30th, he had only 1 hit in 13 at-bats.

As a result, the batting average from 0.200 the previous day went down to 0.197. After the Milwaukee game on the 28th, it was 0.190, so it went back to 10% in just five days. In 33 games this season, he has 24 hits in 122 at-bats, a batting average of 0.197, 6 home runs, 18 RBIs, 12 runs, and an OPS of 0.724.

Judge signed a 9-year, $360 million (approximately 493.1 billion won) mega-extension contract in the 2022-2023 offseason. It was right after he set a new record for the most home runs in a single season for the Yankees franchise and the most home runs in a single season for the American League with 62 home runs in the 2022 season. The American League MVP was also Judge's responsibility.

He also played his part in the 2023 season with a batting average of 0.267, 37 home runs, 75 RBI, and an OPS of 1.019. However, the performance in the second half was slightly lower than the first half. Many pointed out that his batting balance was off after injuring his right big toe. This year, he was unable to take many at-bats during spring training due to abdominal pain. He also confessed that the aftereffects of his thumb injury remain.

Anyway, Judge continues to play. Even though he has thumb pain, he is not in a condition where he can't play. It seems he will eventually have to find a solution himself. So far, there is no synergy with Juan Soto, who was acquired through a trade ahead of this season. As Soto is in American League MVP mode, Judge's slump is even more painful for the Yankees.

Judge's batting average of 0.197 ranks 157th in the major leagues among batters who have completed the required at-bats. There are only 22 people behind the jersey. As it turns out, Judge has a career batting average of 0.278, which is at a high level for a slugger. Even if he can't get up to this point right away, it's right to get out of the 100 to early 200's range. 0.197 is not suitable for a player receiving an annual salary of $40 million.
