Not only did Judge hit his way to a .458 batting average, he drove in nine runs and belted five home runs. All in the span of six games. This is starting to become a regular occurrence for Judge on the season. He has begun to show consistency at the plate over a wide range of games. In his last ten games, he has a .343 average with six homers and 11 runs batted in. This has led the 2013 first round draft pick to boost his numbers on the season. Judge has seen his numbers creep up to a slash line of .266/.351/.486. The long ball count is also rising rapidly. In 72 games this year, the 24-year-old has blasted 15 home runs and 45 RBIs with the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Railriders. Judge's 15 home runs this year are tied for the most in the International League, and ranks in the top five in RBIs, runs (47), slugging percentage (.486), total bases (135) and extra-base hits (30). It is no secret Judge is one of the Yankees top prospects, and he is proving he can hit the best of Triple-A pitching while on his way to the majors.
