The throwing image distinguishes this card from the batting-pose versions of Judge's rookie documentation, offering collectors a different visual representation of the player at the moment of his first professional baseball season. PSA 9 Mint is the second-highest grade Professional Sports Authenticator assigns – a certified near-perfect specimen that places this copy in the premium tier of available examples from the 2017 Update set. 🌟\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ What Aaron Judge did in 2017 redefined expectations for what a first-year player could accomplish in Major League Baseball. His home run output through the first half of the season set the Home Run Derby record, his statistics through the full year produced the 2017 AL Rookie of the Year Award, and his presence at the plate as one of the most physically imposing hitters the sport had seen in years created a level of national attention for a first-year player that had not been seen since the days of the most celebrated debut seasons in history. Five years later, in 2022, he broke the American League home run record with 62 – surpassing Roger Maris' 1961 mark that had stood for six decades and cementing his place in the history of the game in a way that his 2017 rookie year had first suggested was possible. The 2017 Topps Update #US166 Throwing PSA 9 Mint is the near-perfect-grade specimen of his rookie year Topps documentation in the Update set. ⭐\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ Aaron Judge. Outfielder.
