Agreeing With the LAT

Aaron Boone might bat Aaron Judge first in the Yankees order:

It’s about as far-fetched as some of Judge’s home runs, but Aaron Boone won’t rule out the possibility of the American League Rookie of the Year batting first, at least occasionally. In fact, the Yankees’ manager isn’t ruling out much of anything in terms of his batting order.

“I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s likely, but something like that I would consider,” Boone said. “I’ve thought about it.”

Interesting that this subject comes up the day after the Lineup Analysis Tool (LAT) puts Judge in that slot. It also gives Judge a few more opportunities in the season to homer and possibly break Roger Maris‘s AL single season home run record.
