Of course, after losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series last season, Judge has bigger team goals on his mind \u2014 but it would be the story of the season if he can even flirt with hitting .400.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judge is currently leading the majors with a .410 batting average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":55228,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[112,1927,1928,47,39,40,292,1926,1924,1925],"class_list":["post-55226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-aaron-judge","tag-american-league-mvp","tag-bettor","tag-boston-red-sox","tag-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-san-diego-padres","tag-slugger","tag-ted-williams","tag-wins-above-replacement"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Can Aaron Judge hit .400?
