    ^^^the Yanx already solved their hitting woes when they fired their previous hitting coach and hire 2 new ones...lol.

    ...I think maybe Judge just needs more ABs.

    Like most hitters, Judge does better when he's ahead in the count. So far he's had only 60 PA/53 AB and it's going to take time before a more reliable pattern is established. He does tend to take pitches and is 3-10, 1 HR, w/loaded bases. Some batters just don't feel comfortable swinging at the first pitch but I think he should be looking for the first good pitch to hit.
    He strikes out every 1.9 times at bat after the pitcher gets ahead in the count.
