Follow Us
The sky is blue; the water is wet, and Aaron Judge is hot; Currently, Judge is in a league of his own. The New York Yankees slugger has been the most consistent player in the entire major league this season.
With 59 home runs already hit from the plate, Judge is on a pace to break the single-season home run record in the American League. Apart from his red-hot form, what makes Judge more likable is his calmness during the game. Had it not been for him, the Yankees might not be in contention to play in the post-season games this season.

Recently, the Yankees ace Gerrit Cole heaped praise on the potential AL MVP. Notably, given his current form, Judge is the favorite to win the American League MVP. And why not? He has been carrying the Yankees offense on his own for a while.
Will Aaron Judge be able to get past the former Yankee Roger Maris’ home-run record?
The Yankees legend Roger Maris created the home-run record in 1961 when he hit 61 home runs in a season. Since then, no one has been able to do so in the American League. Considering Aaron Judge is now only two-homer short of equalling and three short of breaking the record, the Yankees slugger has the best chance to break the record after 51 years.
Per Bleacher Report, the Yankees ace Gerrit Cole is in awe of Judge’s current form. Not only did Cole praise him for his excellent outings, but the Yankees ace also praised his mentality.
