New York Yankees star outfielder Aaron Judge isn’t enjoying the type of success to begin the 2024 MLB season he’d hoped, and the umpires aren’t helping the cause either.
During the third inning of Tuesday night’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Judge worked a full count against ace Zac Gallen, who had been cruising throughout the night. The 6-foot-7 power-hitting Judge was called out on a pitch well below his knees.

Judge rarely shows emotion despite receiving constant calls like this throughout his career. It’s amazing he’s never been ejected from a game.
But that didn’t keep fans from being infuriated that this remains an ongoing issue.

Aaron Judge takes ball four and strikes out, because that’s how the strike zone works apparently. pic.twitter.com/K8HrT4XHZO
