On Wednesday night, Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees hit his first home run since April 4, breaking a 10-game stretch without a homer. This pivotal hit contributed to the team’s 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

Judge’s perfect night included going 3 for 3 at bat along with a double and a walk. Despite initial concerns about his performance early in the 2025 season, he has proven to be anything but slow. Currently, he boasts seven homers, placing him second only to Tyler Soderstrom’s eight. His batting statistics include an impressive slash line of .409/.519/.803, among the best starts recorded.

In comparisons with legends such as Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, and Jimmie Foxx, Judge’s statistics stand out, indicating he is maintaining an exceptional level of performance even into his thirties.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Judge to see if he continues to maintain such a productive output.
