Aaron Judge Doesn't Hesitate Naming The Best Player In Baseball
10/22/2024 05:36 PM
The 2024 World Series is set to feature a lot of world-class talent.
Both the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees have some of the best players in baseball and will meet for Game 1 of this series in Los Angeles on Friday.
New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is regarded as one of the best all-around hitters in the game but he doesn't think he's the best. He thinks that honor belongs to Los Angeles Dodgers slugger/pitcher Shohei Ohtani.
"He's an impressive athlete, the best player in the game," Judge said.
Ohtani has helped the Dodgers get to their first World Series since 2020 when they beat the Tampa Bay Rays in six games. He's been great during these playoffs with three home runs and 10 RBIs off a .286 batting average.
Meanwhile, Judge was also a main catalyst for the Yankees' first berth in the World Series since 2009. He has hit two home runs and has six RBIs throughout the first two playoff series.
The first two games of this series will take place in Los Angeles before the next three take place in New York. The final two will be in Los Angeles if those are necessary.
First pitch for Friday's game will be at 8:08 p.m. ET.
