How bad has Aaron Judge been this postseason? Here are the numbers

After an utterly dominant regular season, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is slumping once again in October.

The overwhelming favorite for American League MVP was mired in a lengthy slump early in the year and hitting just .197 on May 2. But he turned things around in a big way, finishing with a .322/.458/.701 slash line (batting average/on-base/slugging), 58 home runs and 144 RBI.

That’s not the same Aaron Judge we’ve seen in the playoffs, however. And he’s acknowledged his struggles.

‘Guys around me are doing their job, getting on base,’ Judge said after Game 2 of the World Series. ‘And I’m failing them, not backing them up.’
