Huh? In what way? I see them as completely different players.

He tries to emulate Jeter’s mannerisms

[Avicenna]

He's a star in his own right, but Jeter set standards almost impossible for anyone else to match

[PeachesNCream98]

I agree, but during the post game, I have noticed that he tries to copy Jeter’s mannerisms nd facial expressions

No, Jeter was a real professional and Aaron Judge is a juiced up freak.

[Adventurer23]

Not only that, MLB was supplying juiced baseballs to Yankee games to help boost fan excitement of Judge's run toward the AL home run record last year too.

Sometimes, I feel that he tries to emulate Jeter’s mannerisms. Not only that he said “ if the Yankees don’t win the World Series the year is a failure”. But then again it is my opinion.

@PeachesNCream98 I have to admit, I can't stand the Yankees, so I don't really watch Judge enough to know all his mannerisms. Even in all the games my team (the Blue Jays) has played against the Yankees it never really jumped out to me as far as him emulating Jeter, but I'll have to take a closer look next year. The Jays literally just finished its last game against the Yankees for the season about 20 or so minutes ago, but I'm sure as hell not going to watch any of the remaining Yankees' games this season to check it out, because I have better things to do with my life. 😂

I will say this though, a lot of people were predicting a repeat of last year's record for the Yankees, and that they were one of, if not the best pick for winning the division, but I knew it would never happen. I knew they weren't going to repeat the run they had for the first 4 months of last season, Judge wasn't going to hit 62 HRs again, Giancarlo Stanton is walking piece of glass nearing the end of his career, and they have an overall aging staff. I just didn't see it, and I saw the run they had for the first 4 months of 2022 as an aberration.

With that said, NO ONE predicted the Orioles to win the division this year. lol Nor did the vast majority of baseball analysts predict that the Jays would scuffle all year and be forced to battle for a second wild card position. We've got the best pitching staff in the majors, an excellent bullpen, great defense, but the hitting has been mostly underperforming garbage all year. We'll probably hit 90 wins, but we should have been MUCH better than that. Unless they miraculously manage to turn things around and hit like a team possessed, we're going to get stomped in the playoffs.

What do you mean, "baseball falls"?

[Adventurer23]

I just assume he meant "baseball fans".

@Adventurer23 You were right!
