Yankees superstar Aaron Judge is in a home run flurry that has rarely been seen in MLB history. Through his age-29 season, he had 158 career home runs and on Saturday, at age 33, he hit his 350th career home run . Judge homered 62 times in 2022, 37 times in 106 games in 2023, 58 times last year and so far this season has 35 homers in 95 games.

Judge has been pretty great as well. With a 3-for-4 performance on Saturday, the All-Star and reigning MVP is leading the league with a .358 average and a 1.204 OPS. He also has 81 RBI. His 35 home runs, meanwhile, are second in baseball – Seattle’s Cal Raleigh has 38 – and the most ever by a Yankee prior to the All-Star break.
