NY Yankees teammate of Aaron Judge reveals the reason behind rare home run celebration

During the MLB regular season, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has launched seven home runs, and each one has sparked a unique celebration in the bullpen. With Judge leading the charge, the Yankees have posted an 11-7 record and currently sit atop the AL East standings.

Expectations are sky-high in the Bronx this season, and Judge is living up to the hype. His power at the plate has helped ease the absence of Juan Soto, who’s now suiting up for the crosstown rival Mets in an effort to guide them back to winning ways.

But it’s not just the home runs drawing attention. The Yankees have developed a peculiar ritual after each long ball. Outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr., one of the team’s younger stars, has taken to celebrating by playfully biting assistant hitting coach Pat Roessler, a moment that has now gone viral.

When asked about the odd tradition, Chisholm offered a lighthearted explanation. “It’s just my love, man,” he told The News. “I’m just showing love. He works with me every day, talks to me every day.”

Aaron Judge weighs in on former teammate Juan Soto

While the Yankees haven’t felt the absence of Juan Soto just yet, the Mets are still waiting for the superstar outfielder to find his rhythm this season. Yankees captain offered his take on Soto’s slow start, urging patience and perspective.

“I’ve been watching Soto for years, and now seeing him up close—he just needs to stay true to himself,” Judge told MLB.com. “He can look at what I did last April as an example. He’s going to be just fine.”
