Over his years playing for the New York Yankees, Aaron Judge has become a crowd favorite in the Bronx by endearing himself to Yankees fans. And why not? Apart from being a brilliant slugger, Judge is also an exceptional leader in the clubhouse.

And thanks to his leadership, Yankees fans often compare him to the legendary Yankees captain Derek Jeter. However, when asked about the same, the reigning American League MVP spoke his mind recently.

As for Judge, he prefers to give his best for the team and stays out of troubles and controversies. And that is one of the many reasons why the Pinstripes fans consider him their captain, which automatically leads to his comparison with Jeter.

Aaron Judge on being compared to the former Yankees captain Derek Jeter:

Even though Judge has earned comparisons to Derek Jeter for his style of play and his attitude in the clubhouse, he recently denied the comparisons and insisted that he’s just being himself. According to Time Magazine Judge said “I’m always confused when people are like, ‘Oh, you’re like Jeter, you’re like this guy.’ I try not to be. I just try to be who I am. 

But the similarities between the two are uncanny. Judge aims to win every time he plays. Additionally, he has always been a team player and does the right thing both while playing and off the field. And if that was not enough, the AL MVP has always been accountable for his actions.

Per Time, “He cops to strategic communication, which was Jeter’s MO. He’s unlikely to, say, leak juicy details of a team meeting to the New York tabloids. ‘To say I’m boring, I don’t care,’ says Judge. ‘I’m in front of that camera after every single game. They can never say I’m not accountable.”
