Baseball has seen its fair share of towering sluggers, but every so often, a player comes along who doesn’t just chase records—he threatens to rewrite them. This season, one such titan is on a trajectory that has statisticians scrambling and pitchers losing sleep. If the numbers hold, history won’t just be made; it’ll be obliterated. Enter Aaron Judge, a name pitchers whisper like a curse and fans cheer like a legend in the making.

Aaron Judge and home runs are basically synonymous. It’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions his name. Now, Alex Rodriguez has made a claim on Instagram so bold, it could put Judge’s entire 2024 season in the spotlight.

According to Alex Rodriguez, Aaron Judge is going to post the second-highest single-season home run total in MLB history. When asked how many home runs Aaron Judge would hit, he didn’t even think for a second before saying, “70”. Can’t blame A-Rod for telling that number, especially after the start Judge has had to the season.

Aaron Judge already has 4 home runs and 11 RBIs in his 19 at-bats. He will likely beat his last season’s record of 58 home runs and get past 60. With the torpedo bats in trend, Judge could ride the wave and even surpass the great Barry Bonds, who holds the record with 73 home runs in a season.

If Judge keeps launching baseballs like he’s personally avenging every strikeout in history, we might need a new record book by season’s end. Pitchers can analyze, adjust, and pray all they want—some things just can’t be stopped. Whether he lands at 60, 70, or somewhere beyond, one thing is certain: every Aaron Judge at-bat is now appointment viewing. Buckle up, baseball. This could get historic.

What’s your perspective on:

Will Aaron Judge surpass Barry Bonds' record, or is A-Rod's prediction just wishful thinking?

The season just started, and Aaron Judge is on the verge of breaking a record

The 2025 MLB season has barely begun, and history is already knocking at the door. Records, once thought untouchable, are suddenly looking nervous. Pitchers? They might as well start filing complaints. Because when a slugger like Aaron Judge steps up, the only question left is: how far will the next one go? With Cody Bellinger, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols, and Christian Yelich in his sights, we might be witnessing something special.

Aaron Judge is looking unstoppable this season, and it has just started. According to analysts, Aaron Judge is well on the way to breaking the record for the most home runs in March/April. The record is 14 home runs, and Judge already has 4 home runs.

Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Christian Yelich, and his own teammate Cody Bellinger are the 4 other players who hold this record. Given the form Judge is in without the torpedo bats, it is looking very likely that he is going to at least reach 14.

If history has a VIP section, Aaron Judge is already on the guest list. With his bat doing the talking—loudly—it’s not a matter of if he’ll reach 14 but when he’ll leave it in the dust. Pitchers can hope, and analysts can speculate, but at this rate, all they’re really doing is watching a record crumble in real time. Buckle up—this could get historic.
