In 2013, Aaron Judge began his professional career. He made his debut with the Charleston RiverDogs of the Class A South Atlantic League and came out with a .333 batting average. He was quickly promoted to the Tampa Yankees of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League. He continued his minor league career with the Yankees for three years. In the 2017 season, Judge put on what could be the best rookie season of any major leaguer in the history of the game. Ending the season with an astounding 52 home runs under his belt, not only did Judge demolish Joe DiMaggio's Yankees rookie year home run record of 29, he obliterated even Mark McGwire's seemingly undefeatable Major League rookie home run record of 49! There just has never been a rookie season seen like this before. Offered here is a Chandler model AJ99.2 Aaron Judge professional model baseball bat typical of those used by Judge in his time in the minor league. It has been signed by the rookie slugger in brilliant gold felt tip marker. Aaron Judge memorabilia is likely to only go up in value. Authenticated by MLB with their hologram affixed to the item.
