Aaron Judge's dominant 2025 pace—highlighted by elite contact and reduced strikeouts—puts him on track for a rare statistical season, drawing parallels to legendary performances from baseball's modern era.

MLB player prop bets and odds for Aaron James Judge on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, as the New York Yankees take on the Seattle Mariners.

Yankees star Aaron Judge has etched his name in franchise history with a dominant performance at the plate through the first 40 games of the 2025 season.

On Monday, MLB revealed that his .409 batting average is the fourth-highest for any batter after 40 games played with at least 100 at-bats since 2000, while stating, "We are witnessing one of the best starts to a season EVER from Aaron Judge."

Where Bregman settled into just being a very good player during his final seasons with the Houston Astros, he's played like the player who finished in the top five in AL MVP voting in 2018 and 2019 during the early part of his first campaign with the Red Sox.

Aaron Judge is in the early stages of putting together another candidate for one of the best offensive seasons by a right-handed hitter in the modern era.

Aaron Judge had four hits to get his average back above .400 and Ben Rice hit a grand slam to lead the New York Yankees to a 12-2 victory over the Athletics.

Wright’s humility and grace, however, prevented him from taking the nickname too seriously. So when Yankees captain Aaron Judge took over the moniker this year after being named captain of the 2026 WBC Team USA, Wright gracefully passed the torch, even to a crosstown rival.
