This
was the third consecutive month that Judge had been awarded the AL Rookie of
the Month honors, and the first time he won the AL Player of the Month. Judge
had a great month hitting .324/.481/.686 with 10 home runs, 25 RBIs, 30 runs,
and 30 walks.
Judge,
25, is putting together a MVP caliber year as he's hitting .327/.448/.687 with
a lead leading 1.135 OPS. Coming into tonight's game, Judge was second in
batting average, and he is leading the American League in home runs (27), RBIs
(62), runs (70), walks (58), on base percentage, and slugging.
This
announcement comes on the same day that Judge announced he would be
participating in the Home Run Derby. Judge will compete against some of the top
sluggers in the league from Cody Bellinger, Giancarlo Stanton, and his teammate
Gary Sanchez. Judge was also named as a starting outfielder on the American
League All-Star team after he was the leading vote getter.
