Aaron Judge, as per usual, is on a tear at the moment.

The New York Yankees slugger has continued his dominant season at the plate by blasting four home runs in his last three games. His latest moonshot came in the seventh inning of Wednesday's showdown with the Kansas City Royals, bringing him to 25 on the season.

Judge is batting .394 with a 1.269 OPS and 5.6 WAR through the first 66 games of the 2025 campaign. According to MLB.com's Sarah Langs, Judge is the first player with at least 25 home runs and a batting average of .385 or above through his team's first 66 games of a season.

The reigning AL MVP stands alone in the history books in that regard, but he has some iconic company when looking at another grouping of his eye-popping stats.

As noted by OptaSTATS , only one other player in MLB history had posted a batting average of .390 or above with at least 25 home runs, 45 walks and five stolen bases over any 66-game span in a single season prior to Judge. Babe Ruth did so in 1920, 1921, 1926 and 1930.

In 66 games played this season, the @Yankees' Aaron Judge has:

.390+ batting average
25+ home runs
45+ walks
5+ stolen bases

Only one other player in MLB history has put up those numbers over any 66-game span in a single season: Babe Ruth (1920, 1921, 1926, 1930). pic.twitter.com/nCYAzvTGpm
