These are insane numbers. I appreciate the visual perspective. All he needs is a one all-time post season run. There's nothing left to prove during the regular season.

[FastGunner]

It's great to see Aaron Judge play, because it's like you KNEW how Great he could be, and he finally got the seasons to be able to show it. 2 completely INSANE years 2022/2024. And he's hitting .415 as of the 25th of April, 2025.

Can’t believe this was posted a month ago and now he is hitting even more ❤❤❤❤ what an absolute legend Mr America

[AF-fozv]

I said it before he is the most underappreciated player. Just simply the best hitter of all time among clean players.

[扇風機-cf]

Well, that was a better case made than I expected before watching

[djlee]

Ted Williams has a career 191 ops+ which is just nuts when we think about it

[truehistorian]

Judge fielding is also elite. Fielder he is best outfielder

[TuriSanchez]

Best hitter in the game right now. No one is close, including Harper Ohtani and Betts no one is close!

[dsanchez]

I just hope he gets it going when and if he makes it to the World Series again

[ModernCowboy]

He's not wrong best non juiced hitter of my generation. I

[darkrai]

With the way judge gets shut down in the playoffs, he first needs to prove he can do it when it matters the most.

[robertbroadbent]

And he's batting .415 two weeks later

[peterk]

Judges average has increased to over 400 for the year as well

Baseball is so amazing that I know about most of the greats and even some not so greats….yet I never have heard of norm cash and this mf put up a 201 OPS+ 🤯

[flame-sky]

Two of those six seasons Bonds was clean. Barry Bonds was clean 1986 to 1998. That Bonds had a 99..9 WAR in his first 13 seasons. What Judge is doing is amazing considering the specialty relief pitching that the earlier generations didn't have to deal with.

[RayMagic]

Barry bonds ops+ from 01-04
01: 259
02: 268
03: 231
04: 263

Juiced bonds greatest hitter

[deridia]

What's his OPS+ right now on April 23rd? 300?

[jrutz]

Time for an update on this... His BA is about .100 points higher right now

[SteveDave]

That 175 in 2023 was with that injured toe and still playing right field.

[cmorales]

My argument is: Judge might be the best batter ever, considering he is RIGHT HANDED. The best in history are The Babe and Ted Williams. Other right handed greats are Mays, Aaron and Clemente. I don’t put Pujols because I think he was on steroids. Aaron stats are getting better by the day….
