Stephen A. Smith calls out Aaron Judge in recent interview

Judge has been having a unbelievable season with the Yankees but according to Smith, there is a reason for his production at the plate.

Smith stated that since Juan Soto is batting right after Judge, pitchers are forced to pitch to Judge where the situation would be different if someone else was batting behind him.

While having Soto batting behind him does force pitchers to throw more to Judge, this does not mean it has a lot to do with how he is hitting the ball this season.
