Aaron Judge has been an unstoppable force for the New York Yankees this regular season. With yet another multi-home run game, Judge is leading a team that faced early setbacks with Gerrit Cole out for the MLB season and Giancarlo Stanton only recently returning to the lineup.

The Yankees are off to a strong start in the 2025 MLB season, boasting a 48-35 record following their latest series against the Oakland Athletics. Amid earlier struggles, the team is rebounding, with Judge playing a pivotal role in their resurgence.

Judge’s statistics speak volumes about his exceptional performance. He is nearing the top of the leaderboard for home runs this season and is leading the whole league with 110 hits.

Remarkably, Judge’s 110 hits and 30 home runs in 2025 have etched his name into the MLB history books. He became the first player to achieve 30 home runs and 110 hits before July, underscoring just how dangerous the Yankees are this year in the MLB landscape.

In a season where records seem to fall with relative ease, Judge has notched his 44th career multi-homer game, placing him on the brink of matching a milestone held by MLB legend Mickey Mantle. As Judge continues to climb the ranks, joining historic figures like Babe Ruth, he looks poised to maintain his exceptional performance throughout the upcoming challenges of the season.

Judge’s 44 multi-homer games position him within striking distance of Mantle’s 46. Surpassing Mantle would place Judge second on this prestigious list, trailing only Ruth, who recorded 66 such games in his illustrious career. It’s a remarkable feat for a player who is leading the Yankees to potential greatness in 2025.
