New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge made a statement in his spring debut, hitting two home runs against the Detroit Tigers at Steinbrenner Field. The three-time MVP went 2-for-3 with four RBIs, showcasing the power that has defined his recent dominance. Judge's performance came as he prepares for the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

At 33, Judge has won the MVP award in three of the past four seasons, including last year when he hit .331 with 53 homers and 114 RBIs. His spring showing suggests he's in prime form heading into both the WBC and the Yankees' season. Judge expressed enthusiasm about representing Team USA, noting the team has "unfinished business" from last season's disappointing finish.

Judge will join a star-studded Team USA lineup featuring Bryce Harper, Gunnar Henderson, Bobby Witt Jr., Cal Raleigh, and Kyle Schwarber. The WBC's pool play begins March 5 at sites in Tokyo, Houston, Miami, and San Juan, with the championship game set for March 17 in Miami. Judge's early power display signals he's ready to lead both his national team and the Yankees deep into the postseason.
