I just came from Twitter and saw this

So impressive

Taking away the steroid guys and the altitude guys and you don’t have much. Seven games ago he was at 360.

And Aaron Judge has an OPS+ of 226 and has 392 total bases with 3 games against the Pirates left.

OPS+ Single Season Leaders
Babe Ruth 1920 255
Babe Ruth 1921 239
Babe Ruth 1923 239
Ted Williams 1941 235
Ted Williams 1957 233
Aaron Judge 2024 226
Babe Ruth 1926 226

Throw in the rookie season of Paul Skenes and this is one of the best years for baseball in a long time.

Agreed. The Judge OPS+ numbers and total bases are off the charts historically.

Hope they let Judge get to 400 total bases before they decide to give him a rest. Yankees still competing for a 1 seed with Indians (not sure if that matters), so maybe it won't come into play.

Throw in Judge's 133+ walks and 9 HBP, and I'd say that's a pretty good season. He's been on base a bit, despite all those strikeouts.

He is not in tonight's lineup.
