FACTS/FLUKES: Judge, E. Santana, T. Beckham, D. Holland, Morrison

Ks limit Judge…With big first half numbers, Aaron Judge (OF, NYY) looked a shoo-in for Rookie of the Year, many also thought him a front-runner for MVP. But that talk died down in the second half, as his gargantuan strikeout rate has returned. Can he pick up the pace as the Yankees push towards the playoffs?
