The New York Yankees have one of the best power hitters in baseball in reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge.
He is everything the Yankees want from the face of a franchise.
That is why they agreed to give him a massive nine-year contract and make him their team captain.
Judge is a great all-around player, but his power is what separates him from the rest.
One team he loves to hit against is the Toronto Blue Jays.
Judge has been dominant against them in his career.
According to ESPN Stats & Info, Judge has 31 career home runs against the Blue Jays, tying Jorge Posada for the most by a Yankees player against Toronto.

Judge’s 31 home runs against the Blue Jays come in 100 career games against them.
Those 31 home runs are the second most he has against any team in his career.
The most he has hit is 37 against the Baltimore Orioles in only 90 games.
It is safe to say Judge has punished the AL East since making his major-league debut.
Despite the recent surge of Judge, the Yankees still find themselves in fourth place in the AL East.
Part of that is because that division is loaded with good teams.
New York’s 25-19 record has them 7.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays.
You can bet Judge will continue to smash home runs all year long.
But, he is going to need some help from his teammates if the Yankees hope to make the postseason.
