Judges back ground doesn't scream "60 HR/season power". Of course he has the size, but shit I wouldn't expect him to be a 30 HR/season guy.
Baseball prospectus had Judge as a 60 for future power. MLB.com had him at 40 for current and 70 for future.

Yeah, he wasn't expected to be this good/hit for this much power. But he DOES, and his actual game power could be graded at 80. Some scouts would still say even HE does not grade out that high.
