Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. has high praise for Yankees superstar Aaron Judge.
In the final weeks of the 2024 MLB season, the AL MVP Award will likely come down to two players.
Kansas City Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. and New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge have both had incredible statistical seasons while helping to propel their teams into postseason positions with under 20 games left to play. The Royals currently occupy the second AL Wild Card spot, 2.5 games up on the Minnesota Twins. In the AL East, the Yankees are a half-game up on the Baltimore Orioles and currently hold the best record in the American League.
It also appears that Witt and Judge are fans of each other.
In an interview with ESPN’s Jeff Passan, Witt revealed that he admires Judge and how he conducts himself both on and off the field. He also gave him some high praise with a specific nickname.
“He’s just so consistent,” Witt said of Judge. “That’s the name of the game: Stay healthy, stay on the field and help the team. He does that in a good way, and he does it the right way. He’s not out there showboating. He’s a big dude. He can do whatever he wants. He’s the king of New York.”
