Judge batting .311, Twins’ Araez finishes regular season with .316
Rangers 4-2 Yankees (6th Japan time, Arlington)
Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge missed the Rangers game on the 5th (6th), preventing him from winning the Triple Crown for the first time in 10 years. In this final game of the season, the judge was out of the starting line-up and did not participate. 311 batting average, finishing second in the league behind Twins infielder Luis Araez.
Judge hit an AL record-breaking 62 homers and led the league with 131 RBIs. At one point, he was at the top of the league in terms of batting average, and he was expected to win the triple crown, but he stalled following mid-September. He was passed by Arais, who was competing for the lead hitter, and missed the lead hitter.
After finishing the final game of the season, the judge won the double crown of home run and RBI. Attention is also focused on the outcome of the American League MVP battle with Angels pitcher Shohei Otani, who reached the “double rule” of the regular pitching and regular at-bats in the Athletics match that day.
