And given how he has fared in the playoffs to this point, Yankees fans may have reason to worry that Judge&#8217;s sustained greatness won&#8217;t continue into October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_d7vx8wk4m\">An October 1\u00a0article from The Athletic&#8217;s Ken Rosenthal\u00a0had &#8216;Can Aaron Judge end his postseason slump?&#8217; listed as one of MLB&#8217;s biggest questions heading into the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_gns02nnwe\">&#8220;When last we saw Judge in October, he followed his 62-homer campaign by going 1-for-16 in the 2022 American League Championship Series, and his Yankees were swept by the Astros,&#8221; Rosenthal wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_a0tlb6mqr\">&#8220;In nearly 200 career plate appearances in the playoffs, Judge is batting .211 with a .310 on-base percentage. He has 13 homers, but is averaging one every 15.2 plate appearances, as opposed to one every 13.7 in the regular season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_jvhkzw1k7\">&#8220;The weakness of the Yankees\u2019 lineup beyond Juan Soto&#8230; will complicate Judge\u2019s challenge,&#8221; Rosenthal continued. &#8220;But Barry Bonds faced the same &#8216;he can\u2019t hit in the postseason&#8217; narrative in the first part of his career. And wise baseball people said at the time, &#8216;Give a great player enough chances, and he\u2019ll figure it out.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_55304m1vu\">Not only does Judge have an opportunity to lead his Yankees team to a World Series, but he can also put an end to this narrative of him struggling come playoff time. If he accomplishes both then Aaron Judge will cement himself as a New York Yankees legend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge can flip the script in a major way this postseason.
