## Resource

Aaron Judge isn’t just winning challenges—he’s outsmarting the system. With an 86% success rate on his seven challenges, he’s proving his savvy isn’t in the wins but in the wisdom of when to challenge and when to let go. In fact, he’s second in the league for overall value gained from the automated ball-strike system, outperforming the average hitter by winning more and losing fewer. The data even shows shorter players benefit more from the system than taller ones—especially in the minors. Judge’s calculated approach, avoiding costly losses and maximizing gains, is quietly rewriting expectations about how hitters should use the ABS.
