New York Yankees star pitcher Jameson Taillon opened up on his experience in Yankees Club House. Praising Judge for being the Yankees saviour in every situation, he revealed,”To hear Judge talk about hitting or to talk about pitchers we are facing that night, that stuff was fascinating to me. Because I never played with guys that are that advance. Clubhouse culture-wise, Judge definitely has a strong presence, strong voice like he’s huge.”

Further adding, ”He’s a great player, but he’s also, you know, I think people respect his opinion a lot. People look to him a lot when things aren’t going well and when things are going well.”
