Quotes from Aaron Judge

I've always had that mindset of, 'OK, I may be hot this month or doing really well this month, but don't get too high, don't get too low - just enjoy it.' Don't ride the rollercoaster, basically. I always thought about it like, I'm not going to an amusement park, I'm going to a baseball field.

To a certain extent, I enjoy failure. It's part of the game. There's always room to grow; there's room to improve.

That's what it's all about - postseason baseball.

Everything I do, I'm always playing music. When I wake up in the morning, I'm playing music. When I'm showering, I've got music playing. When I go to the field, music is playing.

I've just got to stay patient, take my walks when I can, hunt the mistakes, and get on base.

When you're facing a different guy every at-bat, he's coming at you with his best stuff. There's no warm-up; there's no 'see a pitch.' You've got to be locked in from the very first pitch... The biggest thing is do your homework before the game starts.

When you come to a game, it's supposed to be fun for the players and the fans.

Pitchers made an adjustment to me. It's up to me to come up with an answer.

One thing I really liked about David Winfield, man, just... the way he played the game, and such a class act he was on and off the field.

My dad played junior college basketball, and he always showed me clips of Michael Jordan.

I needed to go to college. I needed to mature.

Usually when you get on the sweet spot of the bat, you don't really feel it.

The big thing is, it's about learning which off-speed pitches to swing at. A lot of people say, 'Oh, this guy can't hit a curveball; this guy can't hit an off-speed pitch.' But it's about swinging at the right one. Swing at the hangers. Swing at the ones you can handle.

The biggest thing for me is I want to be consistent.

For me, it's just about taking it one at-bat, one pitch, one play at a time.

If I keep taking my good swings, swing at the right pitches, good things will happen.

When I was in the West Coast watching the Giants, Rich Aurilia was a guy I always liked.

That's one thing that's a passion for me: teaching.

When you're on the road, fans pay to cheer on their team and boo the other team; that's just part of it. That's what they're supposed to do. I expect it. I think everybody expects that.

I know a lot is expected of me, but I'm surrounded by some great teammates.

When you go to college the first couple years, and you kind of get beat around, you kind of think about, 'Maybe if I went to pro ball, it would be a little bit better.' Now that I look back on it, I made the right choice.
