Aaron Judge approaches historic milestone shared by Yankees legends Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio

Aaron Judge continues to shine as one of MLB’s elite performers this season. His prowess at the plate, both in terms of consistent hits and towering home runs, has propelled the New York Yankees to maintain an impressive record in the regular season. Judge’s outstanding campaign is not just benefiting the team; it’s propelling him towards legendary milestones once held by iconic figures like Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio.

Judge’s consistency and remarkable statistics have captivated the MLB community, with many pundits buzzing about his potential MVP candidacy. His unwavering performance has not only stunned fans but also analysts who regard him as a cornerstone of the league.

This year, Judge is on the cusp of another historic achievement, one that places him alongside Yankees legends DiMaggio and Ruth. His ability to wield power at the plate while providing leadership sets him on a direct path to this significant milestone.

As of now, Judge boasts a 5.5 WAR this season, positioning him to reach his seventh consecutive season of surpassing a 5.0 WAR with the Yankees. While the milestone of eight consecutive 5.0+ WAR seasons, one shared by Ruth and DiMaggio, remains tantalizingly close, Judge will need to replicate his exceptional form next year to join the pantheon of these Yankees greats.

Other records and milestones for Judge this season

Judge continues to etch his name into the annals of baseball history with 43 multi-homer games, inching closer to Yankee legend Mickey Mantle, who notched 46 such games in his illustrious career. Should Judge sustain his scorching pace, he might even threaten Babe Ruth’s storied franchise record of 68 multi-homer games.
