But Wayne, being a father, seemed like he expected his son to smash a bit harder. The video of the same is doing rounds on the internet. Even Judge’s wife seemed surprised by watching Wayne’s reaction.
Taking to Twitter, baseball fans had the most hilarious things to say about Judge’s father. They also noted how Judge’s wife Samantha stared at Wayne.
To be clear, his dad is just being a dad and critiquing his kid’s swing; willing him to elevate and launch the baseball. Nothing but love for the whole Judge clan and the way they’ve supported him this season. Just a hilarious candid moment.

Not that Ohtani is having a poor season compared to Judge, his not playing in the postseason games might be the deciding factor for the AL MVP. Notably, the LA Angels did not qualify for the playoffs.
