New York Yankees Center Fielder Aaron Judge had a night to remember Wednesday on the road against the Minnesota Twins. The superstar went 4-of-4 with three doubles, a home run, and two RBI. Judge has been swinging the bat much better as of late following a sluggish start to his 2024 season. The slugger has five home runs in May and has four in his last seven games.
It was a historic night for Judge as he tied the Yankees’ franchise record with four extra-base hits, and notched three doubles for the first time in his tremendous career. Judge is hitting .255 this season with 11 home runs and 29 RBI. Judge’s 11 round-trippers are sixth in all of Major League Baseball.
Will Aaron Judge be able to keep his hot streak going?

Judge made his debut in 2026 with the New York Yankees and has been one of the sport’s best players ever since. The accolades are endless for Judge as he is a former American League MVP(2022), five-time MLB All-Star(2017-2018, 2021-2023, and a Home Run Derby champion(2017). He is also a three-time Silver Slugger Award winner(2017, 2021, 2022), and was named the 2017 Rookie of the Year.

Judge is a career .280 hitter with 268 home runs and 601 RBI.
