Judge Makes Bellinger Statement

After the game, Aaron Judge was about Bellinger when he spoke to YES Network.
Meredith Marakovits: “Last night it was Ben Rice. Tonight it was Cody Bellinger with some big hits. Those two bats in the lineup. Just how valuable are they?”
Judge: “It’s amazing. We saw Ben Rice make a lot of strides last year. I knew coming into this year he’s going to have a great year for us. And then that’s why we signed back Cody Bellinger, man. He’s built for this. He’s built for New York. He’s built for the big moment. And he continues to show up for us when we need him.”
