I don&#8217;t really focus on hitting homers, I don&#8217;t focus on any of that, I got a job to do,\u201d Judge said. \u201c16 games, is that a lot? I don&#8217;t know. It&#8217;ll probably be longer at some point in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>16 games with no homers isn&#8217;t a lot for the majority of MLB players, but Judge is in a class by himself. The California native leads the league with 52 homers, 130 RBI, 120 walk, and a 1.142 OPS.<\/p>\n<p>Judge however, doesn&#8217;t pay attention to his stats.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Aaron Judge stays in the present moment with the Yankees<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3006803\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3006803\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3006803\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Aaron-Judge-making-catch-with-Yankees.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Aaron-Judge-making-catch-with-Yankees.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Aaron-Judge-making-catch-with-Yankees.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Aaron-Judge-making-catch-with-Yankees.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Aaron-Judge-making-catch-with-Yankees.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Aaron-Judge-making-catch-with-Yankees.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"New York Yankees center fielder Aaron Judge (99) leaps to make a catch agains the wall against the Washington Nationals during the second inning at Nationals Park.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3006803\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rafael Suanes-USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Judge emphasized that it&#8217;s essential to think about short-term goals throughout the season, as the 162-game marathon would be overwhelming to analyze all at once.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou learn as you go. Each year is so different, each experience is so different, but you try to cut the season into small sample sizes,\u201d the 32-year-old said. \u201cYou don&#8217;t look at it as a whole, or look at it as your past 16 games, or past eight games, it&#8217;s just \u2018what do I gotta do today?&#8217; Just go out there and do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New York is now three games up on the Baltimore Orioles atop the AL East, its biggest lead since June. However, Judge tries his best to not look at the standings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were paying attention to the standings a couple weeks ago,\u201d he admitted. \u201cIt kept going back and forth\u2026We all kinda talked in this room and said \u2018hey if we just focus on us and what we wanna do, we&#8217;ll be where we wanna be,&#8217; so hopefully no one&#8217;s looking at the standings.
