He's been proving it this whole year. So it does appear still you have a bias and not just stating facts.
Plus the walks dont hurt either. I am just focusing on this year and the playoffs. Next year is next year.

With bases empty Judge struck out 43% of the time. With RISP, he still struck out 36% of the time. With a runner on 3rd, 41%. His strike outs were still a big problem in key situations. Not being able to put the ball in play cost his team runs.
