The Captain is pretty impressed with Aaron Judge as an individual. “I’ve watched him from afar, and he’s a very impressive individual. Just talking to him is impressive, and I think to get a fair assessment is by just talking to his teammates, so I think that probably answered your questions,” Jeter said.
The five times world champion answered this question just as a captain would have. He knows the potential All Rise has and furthermore, he can achieve great things ahead. But who else other than Judge’s teammates could say, if or not Judge is the next captain?
