The New York Yankees have taken the baseball world by storm to start the 2025 MLB season. By crushing a franchise-record nine home runs in one game against Milwaukee this past weekend, all attention was shifted to the Bronx Bombers. Star Aaron Judge has registered 11 at-bats through three games and already has four home runs. Jazz Chisholm Jr. has three homers, while Anthony Volpe and Austin Wells each have a pair.

So why are all these players for the Yankees hitting so many home runs to start the season? Is it sheer coincidence? Are steroids back in the big leagues?
