"Right now, he's like Tony Gwynn," Carlos Rodón said of Judge. "Next week, he'll probably be like Hank Aaron."

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees were angry over the home run that wasn’t. Judge drove a changeup from Tampa Bay’s Eric Orze deep down the left-field line, high above the foul pole at Steinbrenner Field.

On Thursday, Rodon once again expressed his admiration for Judge when asked what surprises him, per Erik Boland of Newsday Sports. This came after Rodon threw for seven innings with eight strikeouts and gave up no runs as the Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians 5-1.
