The New York Yankees have made a flying start to the 2022 season. With a 16-6 record so far, the Yankees are sitting pretty atop the AL East. And with a nine-game win streak, they are in top form as they head into a tough series. Taking on division rivals, the Toronto Blue Jays, the pressure is on. And with star player Aaron Judge getting back some of his offensive form, fans will be excited to see how the Yankees capitalize on it. Judge, however, was of the opinion that even though his output had improved, the process still left some details wanting.
