When Aaron Judge gets hot, the baseball world takes notice—and right now, he’s scorching. Over the past few weeks, the New York Yankees’ superstar outfielder has been putting up MVP-caliber numbers, reminding everyone exactly why he’s one of the most feared hitters in the game.
Currently leading the American League in both home runs and slugging percentage during this red-hot stretch, Judge has been the centerpiece of the Yankees’ offense. His ability to punish mistakes—and even good pitches—has made him virtually unpitchable at times.
Since mid-May, Judge has been batting over .350 with an OPS north of 1.200, launching towering home runs with regularity and turning tight games into statement wins. He’s seen a significant uptick in his barrel rate and exit velocity, indicators that this isn’t just a lucky streak—Judge is locked in.
“He’s seeing the ball as well as anyone in the league,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone recently said. “Every time he steps to the plate, something big can happen.”
This surge couldn’t have come at a better time for the Yankees, who are making a strong push in the AL East. With Judge anchoring the lineup, they’ve surged in the standings and are looking more and more like legitimate contenders.
Whether you’re a die-hard Yankees fan or just a lover of great baseball, it’s time to pay attention—Aaron Judge’s hot streak is must-watch material, and it’s putting the league on alert.
