New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge discussed the team’s 2025 season after getting eliminated by the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS.
“It’s what you play for, you play to win,” Judge told reporters (1:04 mark). “When you don’t win, it’s not a good year. Just gotta put in more work, review the season, see what I can keep doing to try to help this team and put them in the best position to win every single night.”
While the Yankees’ postseason run came to an end with a 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays in Game 4 on Wednesday night, Judge already had his sights set on improving in 2026.
“I want to get back out there right now,” Judge said (4:40 mark). “I wish Spring Training was in a couple of weeks and we could get this rolling.”
Although New York wasn’t able to capture its second consecutive AL pennant this year, Judge still put together another stellar season at the plate.
He led the majors with a .331 batting average, racking up 53 home runs and 30 doubles to go along with 114 RBI in 152 games. Judge also led all MLB players with a 1.144 OPS.
The seven-time All-Star followed it up by slashing .500/.581/.692 during the postseason, hitting a three-run home run that helped the Yankees climb back from a 6-1 deficit and keep their season alive in Game 3 against Toronto.
Still, Judge wasn’t satisfied with the season as a whole following New York’s latest postseason exit.
