New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge is already looking far ahead despite mashing two home runs in his spring training debut.
Judge continues to prove year after year that he is one of the best players in baseball, winning three MVP awards in the past four seasons. The seven-time All-Star has earned a series of accolades throughout his career, but has yet to win a World Series title in New York.
Judge is excited to represent Team USA in the World Baseball Classic next month as the team captain, but knows that the Yankees have a lot of "unfinished business" after falling short to the Toronto Blue Jays last season in the ALDS.

"We've got the WBC coming up, which I'm excited about, and an exciting Yankees season," Judge said after the game, per The Associated Press. "We've got a lot of unfinished business from last season, especially the way it ended for us. I'm just trying to put myself in the best position to help this team win a lot of ballgames."
New York boasted arguably the best offense in baseball last season, leading the league in home runs and runs scored, but still couldn't make it past the Blue Jays in the playoffs. The Yankees have made it to the playoffs in all but one season since 2017 with Judge, but haven't won a World Series since 2009.
New York is basically electing to run it back with an extremely similar squad as last season, but hoping for a different result. The Yankees need to make the most of Judge's prime as the 33-year-old continues playing at the highest level and finally win it all.
