**NEW YORK** – Aaron Judge’s seemingly unremarkable home run on April 27th, 2024, in Milwaukee marked a turning point in baseball history. What followed has been an unprecedented offensive surge by the New York Yankees star, surpassing even the legendary feats of Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth, and Ted Williams.
After a slow start to the season, Judge launched into an unparalleled streak, posting a .369 batting average, .494 on-base percentage, and .774 slugging percentage over the next 162 games—an OPS of 1.268. This is the highest OPS recorded over a 162-game span since Bonds’ 2003-2004 season, placing Judge among baseball’s all-time offensive greats.
His current .427 batting average has sparked discussions about a potential .400 season, a feat rarely achieved in modern baseball. Manager Aaron Boone, while acknowledging the unlikelihood, refuses to rule it out for the seemingly unstoppable Judge.
While his postseason performance last year was less stellar, Judge’s regular season dominance has cemented his place as an all-time icon, transforming him from a contemporary legend to a candidate for Cooperstown. His success, he attributes to his unwavering focus on the process and confidence in his abilities.
Despite the incredible numbers, Judge remains grounded, prioritizing a World Series victory above individual accolades. However, even if a championship eludes him, his 2024 season will stand as one of the greatest offensive displays in baseball history, a testament to his exceptional talent and unwavering dedication.
