Aaron Judge is an outfielder and megastar slugger who plays for the New York Yankees. Making his MLB debut with the Yankees in 2016, he has already stocked up 200+ career total home runs. He finished as the American League home run leader in his second season. Judge is a four-time All-Star player.
The Yankees have depended on Judge for the most part to maintain a dominant position. It’s because of his flaming offense the Yankees are now the top-ranked team in their zonal division. It’s almost as if Judge alone is carrying on his team’s attack.
Aaron Judge: The leader on all counts
Aaron Judge has already earned the reputation of a Home Run King. This year Judge is inching closer to breaking Roger Maris‘ American League home run record. But home runs are not the only department where he is leading. He is ahead of everyone else in all aspects of batting.
Judge is on a mission towards individual achievements and his team’s World Series glory. Whether it’s Home Runs, RBIs, Slugging Percentage, WAR, Total Bases, etc. it’s only Judge at the throne. His fans can’t praise him enough for the wild amusement he is constantly delivering.
No wonder Judge is such a hot topic on social media sporting circles at present:

Some more fan support:
And if he gets the triple crown imagine saying someone else is the mvp, people don’t understand this is a deadball era and pitching as great as it’s ever been. .243 league average! Ohtani is great but this is one of the greatest seasons EVER!!

He already got robbed of MVP once by Mighty Mouse in 2017, let’s not rob him again

For all fans comparing Judge to Ohtani,
Judge single handed caring the Yankees on his back and keeping them on the first place, that’s MVP caliber kinda player.
Yes, Ohtani is a great player, he can hit and pitch and he has a good season, but it’s not helping his team.— Magdy S (@magdaluny12) September 15, 2022
And someone who thinks the other way:
oHtAnI Is mVP

Therefore, it’s Judge winning games and hearts, and maybe a lot more to come.
