Aaron Judge Leads Yankees to Victory, Batting Average Soars to .430

Aaron Judge has begun the 2025 MLB season with a historic performance, leading the league with a .427 batting average, 10 home runs, and 32 RBIs through the opening month. His dominance at the plate has sparked comparisons with legendary Yankees like Ruth, Berra, and DiMaggio, though some, including former MLB executive David Samson, argue that Judge needs a World Series ring to be considered an all-time Yankee great. Judge was unanimously voted American League Player of the Month for March/April, his 10th career monthly honor, tying him with Alex Rodriguez for second-most all-time. His achievements include leading the majors in several offensive categories and becoming just the second player ever with 50 hits in the opening month of a season. Baseball analyst David Cone described Judge as 'no doubt' the best hitter in MLB right now, underscoring his elite status among current players. The Yankees' strong start has placed them at the top of the American League East, further fueled by Judge's remarkable play.
