Aaron Judge & Juan Soto Trade Compliments As Each Breaks HR Records

New York Yankees sluggers Aaron Judge and Juan Soto are living up to the Bronx Bombers moniker.

On Tuesday, Soto hit his first career three-home run game, driving all four Yankee runs in a win over the Chicago White Sox. Most impressively, each blast went to a different part of the park as he sprayed balls into the opposite field. His explosion prompted Judge to heap praise on his teammate.

“That’s who he is. That’s why he’s the greatest hitter in the game. You leave a pitch in the zone, he’ll do damage, but if you don’t throw to him, he’s gonna let the next guy up there do his thing.”

Soto disagreed with Judge and stated he believed the 6’7” behemoth to be the best in baseball.

“I’d call him the greatest hitter in the world. I mean, look at his numbers; he’s just unbelievable. He makes my job easier. He makes my plate appearances a little bit better. When you’re hitting in front of a guy like that, you know you’ll get a pitch, so he’s the greatest in the world.”

A day after Soto’s remarks, Judge became the fastest player in MLB history to reach 300 home runs with a two-run blast in the eighth inning of a blowout, series-clinching win over the White Sox.

The offensive outbursts from these two are the catalyst to the Yankees’ turnaround since the All-Star Break. The Pinstripes retook first place in the AL East on Friday and boast the second-best record in the American League since the pause. With trade deadline acquisition Jazz Chisholm Jr. heading to the 10-day IL for an elbow injury, the two superstars must continue to shoulder the load.

Soto will hit free agency at the end of the season, and Judge has made it publically clear that he wants the Dominican locked up in the Bronx for years to come.
