Aaron Judge’s home-run-record chase has only focused an even brighter spotlight on his Yankees teammates.

Yes, he’s gotten his fair share of good pitches to hit, but it’s become clear pitchers are largely staying away from Judge and pitching around him if not intentionally walking him.

As a result, Judge’s home-run pace slowed as he patiently stalked Roger Maris’ American League — and the untainted-by-steroids — single-season home run record. He had hit just one home run in his past 13 games before leading off Tuesday’s doubleheader nightcap against the Rangers with home run No. 62. He walked 19 times in that span, however, as opposing pitchers continually decided to wrangle with the Yankees’ other hitters.

As the Yankees enter the playoffs, that will only become more commonplace, as runs come at even more of a premium.
