Aaron Judge has been the star performer for the New York Yankees this season. Not only for the Pinstripes but given his numbers, the Yankees slugger has probably been the best performer in the entire MLB this season.

However, this success has not come overnight to Judge. Having played for over six years, Judge has worked very hard to earn this respect and success in Major League Baseball. It is not that Judge is playing at such a level for the first time. Even when he was a newbie, the Yankees slugger was one of the finest ballplayers.

Judge was so good that the rival legend, David Ortiz, had to watch the Yankees games. Earlier in the 2017 season, Ortiz heaped praises on the Yankees slugger.

David Ortiz has been an Aaron Judge fan for long

Per The Postgame, the Red Sox legend was in awe of watching Aaron Judge playing from the plate. Ortiz was especially impressed with Judge?s learning process. Because after hitting 52 home runs only in his second season, Judge caught everyone?s attention.

“God bless him, man,” Ortiz said. “He is special. It’s just fun to watch. When I see this young, talented kid like that do so well, especially at that level. I mean, hitting in the big leagues right now is not easy though… So, watching him this year come up, he got a few holes. And now, you look at him, all of a sudden. That means his learning process has been ridiculous fast.?

The Red Sox legend also praised Judge for his vision and understanding of the game at such a young age.

?Some people take longer to get there. He got it from one year to another. He got a really good idea about the strike zone. That tall and having that good vision, it’s unbelievable,? Ortiz added.

Ortiz revealed that only because of Judge he was watching lots of Yankees games. “Oh yeah, definitely? I’ve been watching him a lot,? Ortiz said. “It’s fun to watch, man,” he concluded.
