Aaron Judge, who has the most balls called strikes against him since he joined the major leagues, was ejected for the first time in his career.
For the first time in a generation, a captain of the New York Yankees was ejected from a game. Aaron Judge got the boot in the bottom of the seventh inning of Saturday's Yankees-Tigers game after arguing a called strike three. It is rather impressive that that was Judge's first ejection since joining the big leagues since 2016, considering that no one in baseball has had more balls below the zone called strikes against him since his MLB debut.
The last Yankee captain in Derek Jeter was never ejected throughout his 20-year career, so Saturday marks the first time the captain of the Bronx Bombers has been ejected in quite some time. The Yanks were beating Detroit, 5-3, at the time of the ejection - Judge had gone 2-for-4 with an RBI double. This was the most animated that Judge had been in quite some time . Perhaps it's a bit of anger due to his slow start. Entering the day, Judge was hitting .200.
The Yankees started off hot, winning 10 of their first 12 games of the season. They've since cooled off, going 11-11 since then. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
