But with the Los Angeles Dodgers one win away from a World Series sweep, New York's superstar slugger is running out of opportunities to flip the script. And those around the sport watching from the scouts' seats, the executive offices or even just in front of their television sets at home see a specific problem that needs to be solved: Judge is chasing too many pitches outside the zone, and L.A. is taking advantage of it.
"The Dodgers are feeding him spin, spin, spin that he is chasing," an American League scout told ESPN. "Then the fastball looks harder than it actually is, so he is out of timing. He needs to stop worrying about the big moment and just go with those sliders and take them into right field and the right-center-field gap."
