Forget the elite batting average and eye-popping home runs -- for Aaron Judge, it's all about staying healthy
Briefly

Aaron Judge has experienced unparalleled success in his recent seasons with the New York Yankees, focusing on a simplified swing that allows for natural hitting. After overcoming early career injuries that limited his game participation, Judge's consistency in playing has enabled him to make necessary adjustments during the season, contributing to him having a record-breaking stretch for a right-handed hitter. His hitting instructor, Richard Schenck, notes Judge's swing has become instinctual, eliminating the need for frequent refinements. This stability allowed Judge to thrive and celebrate personal milestones off the field simultaneously.
When you get hurt, your main focus is getting back on the field and when you get back on the field now it's, 'My swing ain't right' because I've missed out on 120, 150 at-bats.
The darn swing is pretty much automatic. There's no thinking anymore. There's just see ball, hit ball. And when he swings the bat, the good swing comes out.
