Aaron Judge is the best hitter on the planet, and there’s no way to argue otherwise.
The Yankees superstar leads Major League Baseball in almost everything.
Here are the hitting stats he leads MLB in as of Saturday night, May 10th:
- Home runs: 14
- Hits: 59
- RBI: 37
- Average: .396
- OBP: .486
- SLG: .772
- OPS: 1.258
These figures come after Judge hit two home runs and an RBI groundout against the Athletics on Saturday in Sacramento.
His average has dropped below.400 in the last few days, but his pursuit of that magical mark is still ongoing.
He entered Saturday tied with Shohei Ohtani, Cal Raleigh, and Kyle Schwarber with 12 home runs each.
But then Judge slugged a pair, taking the lead in that category.
A Triple Crown chase would be an appropriate way for Judge to conclude this season, which has been so special for him thus far.
Really, all sorts of legendary marks are at stake.
At this point, just observe Judge at work. Day in and day out, he grinds and delivers, often adding some history along the way.
The guy wearing No. 99 is truly unique.
