This version of Aaron Judge is insane. This isn’t just hot, it is as hot as it gets and history supports just that. Let’s talk about what’s happening in the Bronx, where the bats are roaring.
A Ruthian Start For Aaron Judge
We are barely a week into the 2025 MLB season, and Aaron Judge has decided to open his own private historical museum in the middle of opposing ballparks.
Thursday night, the Arizona Diamondbacks got the full tour. One homer, four RBIs, two runs—a casual 9-7 win for the Yankees, who also just so happened to hit three home runs in the game. That’s not a box score; that’s a fireworks schedule.
Judge is batting .417 with five home runs, 15 RBIs, and an absurb 1.648 OPS. That number looks like someone accidentally hit the “1” key when they meant to type “.648″—but no, that’s legit.
Here’s the part that’ll make your jaw drop: since 1920, RBIs became an official stat; only Babe Ruth has pulled off what Judge just did—at least five homers and 15 RBIs in a season’s first six games.
Babe Ruth is the tier we’re talking about. The kind of company where you need a Hall of Fame pass just to sit at the table. His RBI’s through the first six games alone, forget the home runs for a second, are also amongst MLB’s all time stats per MLB’s Sarah Lang.
Bronx Bombs at a Record Pace
The Yankees are not just leading the league in home runs. They’re obliterating it with twenty-two bombs through six games. Judge could sit the next week, and they’d still be at the top.
Most teams would be happy to hit 22 homers in the first three weeks. The Yankees have done it before the calendar even knows it’s mid-April. Every time they step into the box, the air gets tense. Pitchers aren’t throwing—they’re just trying to survive.
A Scorching Encore in the Making?
Let’s not forget the irony here—last year, through six games, Aaron Judge had zero homers and one lonely RBI. He still ended up with 58 bombs and 144 RBIs. So, if you’re wondering what the ceiling is this time? Well, go ahead and break it because Judge is already halfway through it.
Someone warn the Pirates—because the Bronx Bombers are coming, and they’re not just swinging for the fences. They’re aiming for the stratosphere.
