    Aaron Judge’s Postseason Stats: Yankees slugger is in big trouble

    After an absolutely dominant regular season, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge falters again in October.

    The overwhelming favorite for American League MVP was in a long slump to start the year, hitting just .197 on May 2nd. But he turned things around significantly and finished the game with a .322/.458/.701 slash line (batting average/on-base/slugging), 58 home runs and 144 RBI.

    However, this is not the same Aaron Judge we saw in the playoffs. And he acknowledged his problems.

    “The people around me are doing their job and getting on base,” Judge said after Game 2 of the World Series. “And I let them down instead of supporting them.”

    What are Aaron Judge’s 2024 postseason stats?

    Aaron Judge in this year’s playoffs through Game 2 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers:

    • Games: 11
    • Bats: 40
    • Hits: 6
    • Walks: 7
    • Batting average: .150
    • Base percentage: .280
    • Slugging percentage: .325
    • Home runs: 2
    • RBI: 6
    • Strikeout percentage: 38.0% (19 out of 50 plate appearances)

    Perhaps most concerning is Judge’s strikeout rate, which was 24.3% during the regular season.

    What are Aaron Judge’s postseason career stats?

    This isn’t the first time Judge has experienced a slump in October. Here are his cumulative numbers, looking back at his first playoff appearance in 2017:

    • Bats: 211
    • Hits: 42
    • Walks: 32
    • Batting average: .199
    • Base percentage: .304
    • Slugging percentage: .436
    • Home runs: 15
