    After an absolutely dominant regular season, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge falters again in October.

    The overwhelming favorite for American League MVP was in a long slump to start the year, hitting just .197 on May 2nd. But he turned things around significantly and finished the game with a .322/.458/.701 slash line (batting average/on-base/slugging), 58 home runs and 144 RBI.

    However, this is not the same Aaron Judge we saw in the playoffs. And he acknowledged his problems.

    “The people around me are doing their job and getting on base,” Judge said after Game 2 of the World Series. “And I let them down instead of supporting them.”
