New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge went 2-for-3 with two walks against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, bringing his batting average to .332 and his OPS to 1.165 this season.
Aaron Judge has been making history by blasting home runs for as long as he's been in the big leagues.Judge finished Tuesday's 4-1 win 2-for-3 with two singles and two walks. He is now batting .332 with 42 home runs, 70 singles, 27 doubles, one triple, 101 walks, an 1.165 OPS and a 8.1 WAR through 119 games this season., Judge is now one of three players in MLB history with at least 40 home runs, 70 singles and 100 walks through 120 games of a season.
No player had posted that stat line in 88 years prior to Judge. And now that Judge became the one to snap the drought, the fact remains that only Yankees players have ever achieved the feat. Today will be Aaron Judge's 120th game of the season. Judge is the third player in MLB history to have at least 40 homers, 70 singles and 100 walks through 120 games of a season.Depending on how New York's last 40 games go, Judge and Soto could join Ruth and Gehrig in the history books in another way., only one pair of teammates – minimum 500 plate appearances – have finished a season with each player posting an OPS+ of at least 189: Ruth and Gehrig.
No other position player on New York's roster has a WAR over 2.9. The 18 non-Judge and Soto players who have taken an at-bat for the Yankees this season have a combined WAR of 7.9.Sam Connon is a Staff Writer for Fastball on the Sports Illustrated/FanNation networks.
