Yankees’ Aaron Judge on recent homerless drought: ‘It’s just baseball’

Aaron Judge is still in the middle of what Aaron Boone called a “historic” season, having broken the 50-homer milestone for the second time in three years and the third time in his career.

But he also is in the midst of a 15-game homerless drought.

Not only is it Judge’s longest stretch without a homer this year, it matches the longest of his career.

“It’s just baseball,” Judge said before the Yankees’ 4-3, 11-inning win over the Royals in The Bronx, echoing the sentiments of his manager. “I’m feeling fine and the results will be there.”

Though Judge’s funk began after he slammed into the center field wall in Washington when he robbed Andres Chaparro of a homer, both Judge and Boone have said that Judge is healthy, with just the usual bumps and bruises that come with playing into September.

And Judge also has proven he’s able to snap out of these types of funks quickly — and unlike any other hitter in the game.
