He does lead the Yankees with nine home runs already through 22 games, but after leading MLB with a .331 batting average last season, he\u2019s hitting just .232 with an increased strikeout percentage and decreased walk rate.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The sample size is small and the Yankees shouldn\u2019t have any concerns about their franchise cornerstone, but they\u2019d love to see him get his bat on the ball more often against a Boston staff that\u2019s posted the 10th-highest ERA and allowed the 14th-most hits so far this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Which brings us to today\u2019s quiz. Judge is one of 20 hitters to reach both 50 home runs and bat above .300 in the same season.
