Quotes by Aaron Judge

I really don't like splitting my workouts into lower body one day, upper body the next day - that makes me I feel like I'm working out every day, and I feel like I'm more tired during the season than I need to be.

Fighting for a job - that's been my mindset every Spring Training.
Read quote
I think that is one thing I've picked up: follow a routine, be consistent, and everything is going to fall in place. If you are scrambling around, and you are late for stuff, that adds extra stress, and you have to go out there and hit a 97 mph fastball.
Read quote
People strike out. I strike out a lot - it happens. Just got to keep working.
Read quote
The big thing is, it's about learning which off-speed pitches to swing at. A lot of people say, 'Oh, this guy can't hit a curveball; this guy can't hit an off-speed pitch.' But it's about swinging at the right one. Swing at the hangers. Swing at the ones you can handle.
Read quote
If I keep taking my good swings, swing at the right pitches, good things will happen.
Read quote
If your team is in the trenches, you've got to be in the trenches with them.
Read quote
I've just got to go in there and get some quality at-bats and do my job and help the team win any way I can.
Read quote
My main focus is, 'What can I do today to help the team win the ballgame?' You have those blinders on. It helps you focus.
Read quote
Sometimes you've got to tip your cap when they're painting stuff on the corner. But you can't give up, got to keep battling and make some adjustments.
Read quote
There should always be competition. You should never feel comfortable, no matter where you are at. If you are a 10-year veteran, you should not feel comfortable. For me, that kind of just drives me, that kind of unknown of what is going to happen. The unknown is kind of what drives me.
Read quote
Just being in a video game is an honor, and being on the cover, I can't really describe it.
Read quote
When you're facing a different guy every at-bat, he's coming at you with his best stuff. There's no warm-up; there's no 'see a pitch.' You've got to be locked in from the very first pitch... The biggest thing is do your homework before the game starts.
Read quote
When I was younger, I'd always forget stuff. I think there was probably 4-5 times where we'd drive 30 minutes to a town for the baseball tournament, and all of a sudden, I'd get to the field and look in my bag, and I didn't have my cleats. So my dad had to race all the way home to get my cleats and get back before the game started so I could play.

When I think about 2017, I feel like it was just another year. It was a whirlwind, but I wouldn't have wanted it to play out any other way. I'm glad I was in New York. There's nowhere else I would rather play, and there's no other group of teammates that I would rather be around.
Read quote
I do a lot of planks. I feel like the plank is the most underrated core workout; that's one of my go-to moves.
Read quote
When I'm lifting heavy, doing squats, and doing upper-body workouts, it's mostly about core and stability. But I'll still do deadlifts. I also do tire workouts with these big 600-pound tires, flipping them and stuff like that.
Read quote
I know I wouldn't be a New York Yankee if it wasn't for my mom: the guidance she gave me as a kid growing up, knowing the difference from right and wrong, how to treat people and how to go the extra mile and put in extra work, all that kind of stuff.
Read quote
I kind of wish I would have been able to see the old Yankee Stadium after seeing the new one.
Read quote
To put on the pinstripe - it's extraordinary. Just being able to play one game with the Yankees is quite an honor.
