Aaron Judge isn’t juicing, but the balls MLB is putting into play when he bats are. Judge is a very good hitter who should be slashing something like .280/.380/.530 with 35 HR. He’s actually been really consistent in his career around these numbers. MLB just badly wants the Yankees to be good and be a story because they’re bleeding fans in a bad way.
2) BS about the balls they pitch to him though. What a ridiculous conspiracy theory.
3) Judge averages 49 HRs per 162 games. This year he has been healthy so he has been on the field more often, and he obviously has had a better season than normal, but it's not really accurate to describe him as a 35 HR guy when he has only played more than 147 games in a season 3 times. In those seasons, he hit 52, then 39 and now so far 60 HRs. His other two full seasons he played in only 112 and 102 games.
I hope he can stay healthy and have another good 4 years before he starts to decline. Non-doped non-pitchers usually start to decline when they turn 35.
Juiced balls are definitely not a conspiracy. The MLB openly admitted to altering balls amidst the spidertack era. The pinstripes being good is good for baseball; chicks also dig the long ball so why not juice em? It's remarkably easy to do.

No. He’s 6’8”, 280 pounds. Pretty much gives him steroid power.
6'8"? I don't believe it. More like 6'7".
With his cleats on. Certain sports (NBA, MLB, NFL) exaggerate the real height and weight of players. Shoes and gear are usually included because that is their playing height and weight. In the NBA heights are with shoes on (adding close to 2") to get a "playing height. Judge is tall, but in flat feet more like 6'5-6".
I saw pics online of him at the beach during his wedding week a year or two back. He's big and muscular but not super ripped at all. Just by looks I'd say he's just naturally a huge muscular guy who lifts a ton of weights.
