Aaron Judge is looking to lead his team back to the World Series after falling just short last season.

Judge is coming off a historic season in which he posted a ridiculous .322 batting average with 58 home runs and 144 RBI.

He also led the league with a 10.8 WAR on his way to his second American League MVP award. With multiple MVP trophies on his resume, Judge is now looking to add a World Series championship to his accomplished career.

Before the start of the 2025 season, Judge took to social media to share major news regarding his family.

Judge and his wife Samantha welcomed their first child, Nora Rose Judge.

"1/27/25 Nora Rose Judge," Judge said. "What an incredible week it’s been, can’t wait for the memories the three of us make."

Following the news, Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout commented on Judge's post, sending a kind message to the Yankees outfielder.

"Congrats!" Trout said.

Aaron Judge has been married to Samantha since December 2021. The two met in high school and were dating on and off until their engagement, per Meredith Nardino at US Weekly.

Judge will have ample help for the 2025 season as the Yankees added two former MVPs in Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt.

Their veteran presence with young stars such as Anthony Volpe and Jasson Dominguez will look to help Judge and the Yankees in a crowded AL East division. New York finished last season with a 94-68 record.
