Aaron Judge’s hot start to the 2025 season has earned him a seat right next to “The Great Bambino.”
During Friday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Judge came up to the plate with a man on first and one out in the top of the 7th inning at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pa. Pirates reliever Tim Mayza threw a 94-mph sinker right down the middle to the New York Yankees’ most dangerous hitter. Judge did not waste it.
The two-time AL MVP smashed the first-pitch sinker into the right-center field seats to give the Yankees a 9-1 lead. The home run was Judge’s sixth of the season.
