Eric Karros settled in behind the cage as the Yankees took batting practice before their series opener in Dodger Stadium last month. Now, he was adding a fourth player to his power list: Aaron Judge. “I never wanted to be just an offensive player that can only hit, and a liability on defense,” Judge said during a clubhouse conversation the next day. “Because I know everybody else on the field is working their butt off, especially that guy on the mound. And it’s going to help us win a ballgame.”
