ANAHEIM, Calif. — Aaron Judge hit his 30th home run in Wednesday night’s 4-1 win over the Angels and enters the final month of the season as good as he’s been all year.
That’s in part due to being able to stay healthy, outside of a stint on the COVID-19 IL.
“There’s still a lot of work to be done,’’ Judge said of his production at the plate.
He credited his teammates getting on base to give him opportunities to drive in runs, but acknowledged he’s playing a little safer than in years past.
“The most important thing is not running into too many walls and doing stupid stuff out there that causes injuries,’’ Judge said.
The Yankees would like that to remain the case, since they know what Judge can do when he’s on — and he’s reached base in 22 of his past 23 games and gotten multiple hits in eight of his last nine.
Gerrit Cole said Judge’s approach at the plate is “tried and true” and he has an ability to take away the strengths of opposing pitchers with his ability to cover the entire plate and hit to all fields.
Aaron Boone put it more bluntly: “Let’s not overthink it. He’s playing really well.”
