What may help his glidepath career wise is his ability to improve his skills/numbers as he ages. In the minors he would struggle for a little while when he would jump a level, but would improve the next year. He did that in his first two MLB years too. I think everyone assumed he would be a 200 strikeout a year player, but he really learned to protect the outside part of the plate and now thrives on going the other way. His ability to make adjustments will hopefully extend his prime years. Damn that Dodger wall toe injury.....

Imagine what Judge's numbers would be if MLB would stop their anti-Yankees garbage and get rid of the Aaron Judge strike zone?
To be fair it’s improved recently. I wonder if Judge’s 2022 breakout coincides with a more fair zone.
it really hasn't gotten better. What Judge changed is swinging earlier in the count
