He's the team's 16th captain and first since Derek Jeter.
Aaron Judge was appointed captain of the New York Yankees on Wednesday, becoming the first team captain since Derek Jeter retired at the end of the 2014 season.
"This is an incredible honor I don't take lightly," Judge said at a news conference at Yankee Stadium, with Jeter sitting a couple seats away. New York had six previous captains in the Steinbrenner family era: Thurman Munson , Graig Nettles , Willie Randolph , Ron Guidry , Don Mattingly and Jeter . Randolph was in the audience on Wednesday.
Judge sat on a dais at Yankee Stadium between his wife, Samantha, and Steinbrenner. Flanking them were Jeter; Judge's agent, Page Odle; Yankees president Randy Levine; general manager Brian Cashman; manager Aaron Boone and chief operating officer Lonn Trost.
