When you look at New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge, you know right away that he’s a guy with big time power and the ability to be one of the best run producers in all of baseball.
When you look at his stats, you’ll realize that you were right in making that assumption, but that he’s on a completely different level than what you originally imagined.
Judge already has 42 home runs on the season, and we still have two full months left!
But it’s not just in home runs where players are trying to catch Judge.
MLB tweeted a list of RBI leaders in all of baseball, which shows Judge at the top with 91.
The best run producers in the game. 😤

All Rise!
Judge is simply on a different level when it comes to hitting.
He can hit tape measure bombs, but he’s also one of the game’s best run producers.
He’s a tremendous athlete and can do so many things on the baseball field.
He’s not a guy you want to face with the game on the line, nor is he somebody any pitcher can afford to leave a pitch down the middle to.
Judge just has that imposing presence in the batter’s box.
He’s always ready to do some damage.
And he’s done a lot of damage this year.
He’s leading in multiple categories, with RBI and home runs being two of the main ones.
It would be extremely hard to imagine him not winning the American League MVP Award at the end of the season.
He’s on pace to do so much more.
Even some of the best hitters in the business are well behind him in several important categories.
