Aaron Judge BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Aaron Judge stepped into the national baseball conversation once again this week, as the narrative around his historic run with the Yankees keeps intensifying. Start Spreading The News describes Judge’s 2025 as one of the truly legendary stretches in modern MLB history, staking a claim to the kind of sustained excellence—think .311/.439/.677 slash line, 204 wRC plus across more than 2,500 plate appearances since 2022—that only legends like Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire approached. This run is made more remarkable by the fact that Judge accomplished much of it while battling through injuries that would have derailed lesser talents. There is an increasing drumbeat, especially among Yankees writers, that Judge is not just a first-ballot Hall of Famer but legitimately in the conversation for greatest hitter of the era, and maybe, with a little more time, all time—on par with post-steroid Bonds and actually ahead of him in certain advanced stats since 1970.
As the World Series wraps and the MLB offseason narrative cranks up in early November, Judge is a frontrunner for his third American League Most Valuable Player Award, which would put him in the company of Yogi Berra, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and Alex Rodriguez among Yankees—an accolade with lasting biographical weight. According to Start Spreading The News, if Judge were to capture a fourth MVP down the line, he would stand alone with Bonds among the modern immortals. Statistically, Judge now leads all since-1970 hitters in wRC plus, even above Bonds and Juan Soto, and his 368 career home runs put him 87th all time. If he stays healthy and maintains his post-2022 pace even for two more years, he could leap into the top 35, and with reasonable longevity, a place in the 600-homer club and the top 10 all time is within plausible reach.
Around the business side, there is little breaking news: as confirmed by the Aaron Judge Audio Biography podcast, Judge has not debuted any new major endorsements or investments this week, with business activity relatively quiet despite his growing stature. Social media has featured standard postseason engagement—congrats for the Yankees’ playoff performance, fan throwbacks to his record-breaking home run barrage, and speculation fuel about awards season—but there have been no viral controversies or headline-grabbing non-baseball stories.
Public appearances have been mostly limited to Yankees-related postseason media; no major external philanthropy or pop culture events have been reported. One theme that is gaining social traction: the idea, increasingly echoed by Yankees blogs and baseball podcasts, that Judge’s legacy is shifting into rarefied territory—a point that feels likely to headline the awards season and beyond. No credible negative or scandalous headlines have appeared. In sum, the past few days cemented Judge as the gold standard for sustained brilliance on the field and a quietly respected presence off it, poised on the cusp of the MVP news cycle and a continually growing legend.
