With the Angels' Shohei Ohtani on pace to threaten Aaron Judge's AL home-run mark, the Yankees star reminds everyone 'records are made to be broken.'
“Everything he does is calculated to be the best player in the world for the purpose of winning,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said. “Everything else that comes along with it is great, but he wants to win.”A Shohei Ohtani trade would likely be with a contending team with plenty to offer. What do four such teams have available in their farm systems?
Judge said the stadium environment proved to be one of the most difficult aspects of his record-breaking run last year. Fan reaction during his at-bats made it difficult for him to focus on trying to help the team win. “I led off a game against Pittsburgh and Boston with the double,” Judge recalled. “There’s almost a sense of like the fans are upset and understand that they want to see history.
“When it gets to that point, it’s all mental. Even Shohei, he can hit 100 homers, 80 homers. He’s got that type of talent … but it’s moments like that, it’s about just being mentally able to block out the noise or lack of noise in those moments.”
