The captain of the New York Yankees, Aaron Judge was self-critical after confirming the elimination of his team in the 2023 Major League seasonafter losing on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-1, a result that left their record at 78-77.
This will be the first time that the Yankees will not be in the playoffs since Aaron Judge joined the New York team in 2016.something that the outfielder recognized, will make his summer something different, but that at the same time will help him reflect and begin to prepare for the next campaign.
“It’s hard (…) Every year I’ve been in New York we went to the postseason. It will be something a little different this winter, but it will allow us to work a little harder and be better for next time.”, reflected the player.
“Many things went wrong (…) Different aspects can be mentioned, but The summary of everything is that we did not know how to do our job“added the ‘Judge’.
The Yankees come from 2022 in which they managed to win 99 games with Aaron Judge in a starring role, managing to hit 62 home runs to set a new record in the American League, however, They could not repeat that performance this year and earned criticism from fans.
Part of the team’s disastrous season had to do with the multiple injuries suffered by several of its stars, including himself. Judge, who was barely able to participate in 101 games, where he had a .268 average with 35 home runs.
But there were also players with performances well below expectations, such as Giancarlo Stanto, who has participated in 98 games, leaving a poor average of .198 with just 24 home runs.
To make these data more exact, it must be clarified that The New York Yankees had to activate the injured list 37 times and they turned to several of their prospects on several occasions, however, none of this was enough to right the campaign.
