Baseballs look like grapefruits to Aaron Judge | 'NYYST'

But, you know, you look at a guy like Cam Schlittler and Gary Cole where they have high velocity, but they also have late life on the fastball.

Boomer & Gio
Baseballs look like grapefruits to Aaron Judge | 'NYYST'

I didn't really witness that a lot today.

Boomer & Gio
Baseballs look like grapefruits to Aaron Judge | 'NYYST'

And so it's maybe something he can work on or just didn't have it today.

Boomer & Gio
Baseballs look like grapefruits to Aaron Judge | 'NYYST'

A lot of his off-speed stuff, change-up sliders were up in the zone.

Boomer & Gio

Again, something that maybe was just happening today.

Boomer & Gio

And you would like to obviously see that stuff down in the zone.

Boomer & Gio
Baseballs look like grapefruits to Aaron Judge | 'NYYST'

He did have one nasty 93-mile-an-hour change-up that just completely fell off the table today.

Boomer & Gio

So the raw ability is there.

Boomer & Gio

It's just what is he going to put all together going forward here?

Boomer & Gio
Baseballs look like grapefruits to Aaron Judge | 'NYYST'

And if the Yankees really value him more in 2026 as his development, as a starter, or can they get a weapon out of the bullpen?

Boomer & Gio
Baseballs look like grapefruits to Aaron Judge | 'NYYST'

Because if he can throw strikes...

and throw 100 to 103 coming out of the bullpen and have the semblance of a decent changeup or a slider.

Boomer & Gio
Baseballs look like grapefruits to Aaron Judge | 'NYYST'

That's a weapon most teams don't have coming out of the bullpen with that strikeout stuff that he's shown in the minor league.

Boomer & Gio

So it'll be interesting to see how he develops this year and what the Yankees' ultimate goal is for him because we saw Elmer Rodriguez pitch yesterday.

Boomer & Gio
Baseballs look like grapefruits to Aaron Judge | 'NYYST'

Actually, I didn't see it because it was on the app and I wasn't home, but he's another highly touted pitching prospect for the Yankees.

Boomer & Gio
Baseballs look like grapefruits to Aaron Judge | 'NYYST'

For me,

Boomer & Gio
Baseballs look like grapefruits to Aaron Judge | 'NYYST'

The way I'm reading things, I think more so he will be left to his own devices to be a starter, where to me personally, I think that LeGron, he might transition more into a bullpen role.

Boomer & Gio
Baseballs look like grapefruits to Aaron Judge | 'NYYST'

Again, I could be wrong, but that's the way I'm reading things at this moment.

Also, we saw Spencer Jones today.

We talked about Spencer Jones on this show in the past.
