Judge, who is coming off his third MVP campaign in four seasons, will get an earlier start to the game this spring as he will captain Team USA in the World Baseball Classic in March.
When the Yankees lost to division rival Toronto in the ALDS last year, Judge was recently asked about New York’s slow start to free agency this offseason.
“It was pretty hard to watch at first. I was like, ‘Man, we’re the New York Yankees, let’s go out and find the right people, get the right pieces to go out and finish this thing.'” he said.
“We’ve got a special group of players here. We’ve got a good core, a good young core. It’s been frustrating, but I think we’re right where we need to be,” he added of the Yankees bringing back the trio of Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham and Paul Goldschmidt.
That brings us to today’s quiz. Judge hit 53 home runs with 114 RBI and with an American League single-season record of 36 intentional walks. With that being said, can you name the most recent player with 40 home runs in a season for any MLB franchise?
Success!
