Aaron Judge’s star just keeps rising as news broke this week that he captured his fifth career Silver Slugger Award after another monster season for the New York Yankees. According to MLB.com, Judge paced all of baseball in batting average at .331, becoming the tallest batting champion in history, and joined the ranks of Mickey Mantle and Jimmie Foxx as only the third player ever to hit 50 or more home runs and win a batting title in the same year. His 53 home runs led batting title winners across MLB, and he also dominated in on-base and slugging percentages, with an OPS north of 1.140. The Yankees celebrated Judge’s achievement prominently on their social media channels, congratulating their captain and best player. Judge’s fifth Silver Slugger ties him with Yankee legends like Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada, making this not just another trophy but a statement about his place in franchise lore.

On top of hardware, the MVP talk is inescapable. Judge was named an American League MVP finalist in what is being billed as one of the most hotly debated races in years. Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh’s 60 home runs have given Judge real competition, but inside the Yankees clubhouse, support for their captain is unwavering. The Baseball Writers’ Association will announce the MVP winner on November 13, and the anticipation is palpable, especially as Judge aims for his third career MVP after previous wins in 2022 and 2024.

Off the field, Judge made a tender splash on Instagram, posting his newest custom Yankees glove—pink leather, purple stitching, and the name “Nora Rose” sewn in for his baby daughter. This comes on the heels of Judge and his wife Samantha Bracksieck welcoming their first child, a daughter born January 27. When Judge accepted his AL MVP in absentia earlier this year, he publicly cited staying home for the imminent arrival of their child.

Retailers like Fanatics report that only Shohei Ohtani’s jersey outsold Judge’s in 2025, with Judge remaining a top name for MLB-endorsed fan gear. Meanwhile, while Cal Raleigh led MLB’s endorsement deals, Judge’s marketability as the face of the Yankees remains unmatched among non-West Coast stars.

In sum, Aaron Judge walks into the offseason not just as a towering slugger but as a new dad, the face of one of baseball’s most storied franchises, and a perennial headline-maker. If anyone doubted his place in Yankees history, this week’s news put those doubts to rest.
