For weeks now, the fight for the American League batting title has had two interesting names: Aaron Judge and Luis Arraeztwo players who have not stopped producing in 2022. In this fight, the Venezuelan does not want to walk away from the batting crown and threatens the Triple Crown of the Yankees outfielder.
Despite the historic 61st home run, “El Juez” could not wake up on Thursday as the bat leader in the American League and this because on Wednesday night “La Regadera” made himself felt with the bat and kept his average up to par so as not to give advantages in this fight.
These players are even in batting average (.313) and took four points ahead of Xander Bogaerts, who was also in the conversation for that batting championship.
Luis Arraez
In his last game, the native of the Twins had a day where he was 5-2, with an RBI and a strikeout against the Chicago White Sox, which made him reach 167 hits in the season and put his average in .313.
Aaron Judge
“Judge” In that game against the Blue Jays, he had a hit (home run 61) in four at-bats, drove in two runs and scored the same amount to dawn with a .313 average.
If the Venezuelan continues to make himself felt with the wood, he could in these last games embitter the possibility of embittering Judge’s Triple Crown, an award that has not been seen since 2012 when Miguel Cabrera achieved it.
After today’s day (09/28/2022) the fight for the batting lead in the LA continues 🔥

It should be noted that the Yankees player in terms of home runs (61) and RBIs (130) is comfortable in the lead, only the average department is the one that he needs to lead alone.
