Aaron Judge Makes MLB History
300 Career Home Runs In Record Time
Historic Batting Performance
New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has made MLB history, becoming the fastest player to hit 300 career home runs.
Judge accomplished the feat in just 1,010 games, breaking the previous record set by the legendary Babe Ruth who reached the milestone in 1,028 games.
The 30-year-old outfielder's historic home run came in the fourth inning of Wednesday night's game against the Texas Rangers.
Judge's power surge has been a major factor in the Yankees' success this season. The team currently holds the best record in the American League and is considered a favorite to win the World Series.
Impressive Stats
- 300 career home runs in 1,010 games
- 162nd player all-time to reach 300 homers
- 17th player to reach the mark while playing for the Yankees
Historical Context
Judge's accomplishment places him among the greatest hitters in MLB history. He is now tied with Hall of Famers Alex Rodriguez and Willie Mays on the all-time home run list and is just behind another Yankee legend, Mickey Mantle.
Judge's historic season has also seen him break other records, including the Yankees' single-season home run record of 54, previously held by Roger Maris.
Bright Future
At just 30 years old, Judge is still in the prime of his career and shows no signs of slowing down. He is a lock for the Hall of Fame and could continue to climb the all-time home run list in the years to come.
