Is Aaron Judge using steroids that can't be detected?

[888theGreat]

Is he? Time will tell.

He had 33 Hr's at all star break and has hit 27 since then. Only people that hit more Hr's second half have used steroids. So, I am beginning to think he is indeed using steroids. Again I am going by history and stats.

Yes , he couldn't hit 60 HR's without help

No I need a hero

They also get injured easy

[WhiteSteve]

These guys (or more accurately, their trainers) always seem to be a step ahead of the testing. Sat right near him in right field at a game a few years ago though, kid is an absolute MOOSE.

[exitseven]

It was pretty obvious he was juicing a few years ago but it looked to me that he stopped taking the stuff. Probably because he was getting tested.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Am I the only one who thinks Aaron Judge is kinda overrated? So yes lol.

[888theGreat]

guy was saying if he was single , he would be interested

[doggylover64]

Why the staring? 🥳

[Redstang88]

Isn’t Judge like 6’6 or 6’8? He’s obviously a hell of a gifted athlete and that’s a lot of power to put into a swing, I could believe he’s clean

[Joecal]

Up until his monster season last year at age 30, his rookie season at age 25 was his finest.
I don't know if the 27 year old peak is most common, and I have read that 25 is the most common peak for home runs. I'm sure early 30s peaks do happen, though - and I know I'd be cheering for him if he was on my team.

But that gives me a bit of doubt.

Then this season he was hitting closer to his career average before becoming babe Ruth again after being on the injured list (most players perform worse coming off the IL, I expect). More doubt.

But of course, I have no inside info.

every oncein a while someone does something amazing. like when Lance Armstrong won all those tour de Frances.

[888theGreat]

Lance was using steroids too

[Jamesshinobi]

whaaaaaaaat? no way! eh. if you dont cheat, you dont love the game

[admles]

ALL professional athletes are using something.

They get told when testing is going to happen, when they need to stop using to get past detection etc

He's 6'7, 280 lbs. He doesn't need steroids.

Also, he hit 50 hr's his first season. Bonds never hit 40 until in he was 29.

[888theGreat]

right he is using

[Joecal]

Bonds was in his age 28 season when he hit 46, and power was never his primary attribute. Being a good defensive outfielder, a good base stealer and having an excellent eye while striking out only 12% of the time in his career.

[Joecal]

An interesting difference between bonds and judge is their babip.
Bonds was faster, but had a career.285 avg on balls in play.
Judge is around.340.

[Joecal]

A higher habit could be explained in part by a higher line drive percentage, but the difference is small (though LD% isn't available for a bunch of bonds career).

Judge does pop up less, too. I don't think those two factors come close to explaining the habit gap, though. I'm sure someone else could speculate on the difference.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Not necessarily. Keep in mind he plays at Yankee Stadium and the walls are low and only about 300 feet away from home plate.

Little kids park. 🤤

[WhitneySnow]

I don't know. Some athletes are just that good.

[handsomeoutlawbrady]

Judge ALMOST CERTAINLY isn't juicing because despite being six-seven,280-285 lb., he doesn't have 25-or so inch arms.(In his case , about 20 inches.)

[888theGreat]

He fits the mold of a user.

[exitseven]

his jaw line has the classic steroid user look.

[Joecal]

A lot of pitchers with skinny arms were using PEDs.

[TroyDT]

Maybe. He is one huge dude. I am not small (6'2, 200) and I'm like a skinny dwarf next to his 6'7, 280.

[cloud9vortex1234]

Is that a recent picture of him? I don't watch baseball, but I might be able to give an accurate answer

[supercutebutt]

Nope. He is clean.

[888theGreat]

as clean as your butt?

[supercutebutt]

Yup. And you could eat off my butt, it's THAT clean.

[genericname85]

steroids don't make you hit homeruns.

[888theGreat]

it gives you endurance to hit more home runs. Makes a long season shorter. Only two people have ever hit 60 HR's without using steroids , Ruth and Maris.

[genericname85]

Hitting homeruns isn't about the power so much. It's more about accuracy. Like you can have all the power in the world if you just hit the ground. And if someone does great things, there's always gonna be haters who try to take their victory away by blaming them for the use of illegal substances. You can rest asure that every professional athletes uses all the legally or illegally possible shit they can get away with. The playing field is level.
