New York Yankees center fielder Aaron Judge.
Outfielder Aaron Judge continues to show why he’s one of the best players in New York Yankees history.
In the third inning against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday, Judge crushed a 450-foot, three-run home run, giving New York a 3-0 lead.
It was the 260th dinger of his career, tying former Yankees star and Hall of Famer Derek Jeter on the all-time home run list and for the ninth most in franchise history.
It’s only a matter of time before Judge surpasses the five-time World Series champion.
Per Baseball Reference, Judge has averaged 49 home runs per season in nine seasons with the Yankees. Jeter, meanwhile, averaged 15 homers per season in 20 seasons with New York.
Former American League MVP Judge has yet to win a World Series, but he may have his best chance this season. He and outfielder Juan Soto have formed one of the best duos in baseball. Through 15 games, they’ve combined for 21 RBI and five home runs.
The Yankees are 12-3 and first in the AL East. As of Sunday, FanDuel gives them the third-best World Series odds (+700) behind the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
