This isn’t Cody Bellinger‘s first time taking the field for the New York Yankees alongside Aaron Judge. As he enters his second year with the team, Bellinger was asked about his experiences playing with the Yankees’ captain. He shared some insightful thoughts on the matter.
In an interview with YES Network, the Yankees‘ offseason addition expressed genuine admiration for Judge and optimism for the upcoming season. “Having a front-row seat to what he does, I can learn a lot from his swing and how he prepares,” Bellinger remarked. “Ultimately, talking to him a bit about what he thinks of the game has been enlightening.”
These comments highlight the camaraderie between Bellinger and Judge, two hitters the Yankees are counting on to contribute significantly to their season’s goals. Judge has already laid out his mindset with a firm statement ahead of the Yankees’ upcoming campaign.
Meanwhile, Bellinger aims to solidify his place on the roster after last year’s performance and is eager to showcase his talent at this stage of his career to help the team in their title pursuit this year.
