That is because ‘A-Rod’ has logical reasons to hail Judge. The proof is distinct in Judge’s sensational performances. He has scored 50+ seasonal home runs twice in his career. Notably, he is only the 10th player in baseball history to do so. 

At his young age, there is every possibility that Judge can stack up 50+ homers yet again. He looks all set to break Roger Maris’ American League seasonal home run record. With the Yankees standing atop the American League East rankings, there is every chance now.
