Top 25 MLB prospects that need to be called up right now
15. Aaron Judge, New York Yankees
The hulking, 6-foot-7 Aaron Judge has affirmed himself as a terror at the plate in the power department. In his second season at Triple-A Scranton, he has continued to further that point. After hitting eight of his 20 homers after being promoted from Double-A Trenton last year, he is already one short of his 65 game total at the level in over 100 fewer plate appearances this year.
His type of production should be welcomed on a Yankee team that has struggled to get into gear this season, and currently sits 7.5 games behind the first place Red Sox. However, his exact fit is tough to gauge, with Carlos Beltran, Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira currently inhabiting the positions he would need to play.
However, if the Yankees remain flat, it would be wise to get Judge up and see what he can do. He has a game-changing type of potential at the plate that is sorely needed on a team that is currently 13th in runs scored in the American League and 10th in home runs, just a year after finishing fourth in the AL.
