Judge finished the month of April by hitting .500 over his final 50 player appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to reporters this week, Boone said he believes Judge is only going to get better.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Aaron Boone Warns League About What\u2019s Coming<\/h2>\n<p>Boone warned opposing teams that it\u2019s only going to get more difficult dealing with Judge as the season goes on and the two-time league MVP really starts to hit his stride.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI say this and I\u2019m not being cute or funny \u2013 but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s been that hot yet, honestly,\u201d Boone said, via USA Today. \u201cHe\u2019s getting his hits and I think it\u2019s a credit to how great he is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boone added a two-word warning to the rest of the league when Judge \u201cgets really going and starts hitting balls in the seats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuckle up,\u201d Boone said.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees manager had to pull into another sport to fully describe the impact Judge is having at the plate so far this season, saying he\u2019s like a 3-point shooter with a hot hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guess he\u2019s kind of like a great three-point shooter at the plate right now. They shoot around 43% for an extended period,\u201d Boone said. \u201cIt\u2019s remarkable, obviously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always say we\u2019re running out of superlatives or things to say about it, but what he\u2019s doing \u2013 he\u2019s playing a different game.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Aaron Judge Earning Praise From Teammates<\/h2>\n<p>Boone isn\u2019t the only one in the Yankees\u2019 clubhouse amazed by what Judge has done so far this season. Pitcher Carlos Rondon said after last week\u2019s series against the Cleveland Guardians \u2014 a series where Judge went 7-for-12 \u2014 that the Yankees slugger right now is on par with some of the greatest hitters of all time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now he\u2019s Tony Gwynn,\u201d Rondon said. \u201cNext week he\u2019ll probably be Hank Aaron.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judge\u2019s heroics aren\u2019t always enough to put the Yankees on top, which was the case in Saturday\u2019s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. After Judge hit a solo homer in the first inning against Zack Littell, the Rays pitcher settled down to retire the next 11 batters.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees went on to lose 3-2, but remain atop the AL East at 19-14 with a two-game lead over the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p>Boone said earlier in the week that he believes the team still has room to improve, but he feels good about the club that reached the World Series last season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HWD7SXRTNRA2FNLKEBLORCLJQA\">\u201cIt\u2019s very early,\u201d Boone said, via NJ.com. \u201cIt\u2019s a long, long season. But I like getting to do it with this group. You\u2019re always trying to get a little bit better. There\u2019s always room for improvement. We\u2019re never a complete product.
