Aaron Judge Becomes First Player In MLB History To Hit Milestone Before July

Judge, a two-time MVP, six-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger, is putting together one of the best seasons of his already impressive career. Through 84 games, he's slashing .354/.458/.717/1.175 with 73 runs, 58 walks and 110 hits, all numbers that lead the American League.

He's on pace for the second 60-home run season of his career after falling just short with 58 last season. The 6-foot-7 outfielder should also finish with over 120 RBIs for the third time in his career, each in the last four seasons.

Judge is no stranger to the No. 1 spot in various hitting categories in MLB, but he may accomplish a career-first in 2025. He's leading qualified hitters with a .354 batting average, with Athletics rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson in second at .339. Judge has never won the AL batting title, let alone lead all players in batting average. Doing so would be another feather in his cap during an incredible 10-year MLB career for the 33-year-old.

Judge is more familiar with leading the league in home runs, something he's done three times in his career. He has stiff competition for that title in 2025, though, as Seattle Mariners Cal Raleigh leads MLB with 33, one spot ahead of Judge's 30. Raleigh is likely the top contender to dethrone Judge from his title as the reigning AL MVP.
