Aaron Judge is having himself quite the start to 2022, if you hadn’t noticed. He’s finding himself at or near the top of loads of offensive leaderboards, and in the midst, has settled any possible lingering debate about him being one of baseball’s greatest talents. Not only has he been among the best players this season, his hot start ranks well in recent history, with past Yankee seasons, MVP winners, and perhaps most notably, his own past performances.
The Yankees’ slugger has a healthy lead in the home run department, swatting 18 thus far, four ahead of Mookie Betts’ 14.
