Aaron Boone’s Message With Yankees Facing Giancarlo Stanton Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Yankees are one of the best teams in baseball, but even the top squads sometimes need help from unexpected players. That's what utility man Pablo Reyes did in Thursday's 1-0 win vs. the Kansas City Royals.

When Judge teed off on a 2-0, 94.3-mph fastball from Royals rookie left-hander Noah Cameron that was almost center cut below the belt, Yankees manager Aaron Boone sped from his dugout perch to make sure he had a great look.

There aren't enough superlatives to describe how Aaron Judge is playing for the New York Yankees this season. The superstar slugger leads baseball with a .394 batting average and a 1.269 OPS, and he's also second with 25 homers and 59 RBI through 66 games.
