The soon to be 24-year-old immediately stood out in a three-game look I had last week at Pawtucket, which is not saying much given his 6’7”, 275-pound frame. This was my first time seeing Judge, and I was surprised to see the athleticism, lateral movements and ability to run given his size. At the plate, Judge actually showed a short, line-drive oriented swing with a two-handed finish. The raw power and bat speed combination is well above average (click here for video of his first Triple-A home run), but Judge can get himself into trouble when he tries to sell out for over-the-fence power. Judge appeared to be trying to shorten things up and keep things simple at the plate, with a line-drive, all fields approach. Defensively, Judge showed above-average arm strength; more specifically on a throw from right field to third base which showed why Judge profiles perfectly in right field. He has surprising first-step quickness and long strides that help him cover plenty of ground in right field to be an average defender. Judge was 6-for-15 with zero walks and four strikeouts during this three-game series – Chaz Fiorino
