Despite his incredible start to the season, Boone is still waiting for Judge to get “Catch Fire” on the record.
“If he continues to rise from here, I will not be surprised,” Boone said. “The most amazing part of it is that I feel he is just playing well. I don’t feel like he’s been on fire at any point. That’s great about it. He’s out there and playing well. Getting his hits, doing his things. But in many ways I wait honestly to get a guy. It’s when it gets really scary.”
“He plays in another league,” Boone added with another smile. “He has to be called up.”
