    Aaron Judge’s postseason stats: Yankees slugger struggles mightily

    After an extremely dominant regular season, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is set to decline again in October.

    The overwhelming favorite for American League MVP entered an extended slump early this year, hitting just .197 on May 2. But he turned things around in a big way, finishing with a .322/.458/.701 slash line (batting average/on-base/slugging), 58 home runs and 144 RBI.

    However, that’s not the same Aaron Judge we saw in the playoffs. And he has acknowledged his struggles.

    “The guys around me are doing their job and getting on base,” Judge said after Game 2 of the World Series. “And I let them down, I don’t support them.”
