Juan Soto is putting together an incredible season and his relationship with New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge is part of the equation.
Even though Soto is sitting out a few days with left forearm inflammation, the numbers speak for themselves. The right fielder slashed .318/.424/.603/1.027 in his first 64 games, with 17 home runs and 53 RBI.
It’s the marriage of Soto and Judge on the baseball field that some of Soto’s former teammates in San Diego have credited for his resurgence this season. The Yankees visited the Padres a couple of weeks ago, which was Soto’s first visit since the trade. Soto’s production with the Padres last season certainly wasn’t lacking. He slashed .275/.410/.519/.930 with a career-high 35 home runs along with 109 RBI. He led the Majors with 132 walks and played in 162 games for the first time in his career.
In his first 61 games last season for the Padres he was batting .248 with an .877 OPS. With the Yankees both numbers jumped in the same time frame — .318 batting average with a 1.027 OPS.
