New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge is en route to another MVP season, and it's going to include a major milestone.
Currently sitting at 299 career home runs, Judge's next blast will naturally be his 300th. He will have reached that milestone in an incredibly historic fashion.
When Judge hits his next home run, he's going to have done so much quicker than any other player in Major League Baseball history.
Entering Tuesday, Judge has appeared in 953 games. The next closest player on the list is Ralph Kiner, who reached 300 career home runs in 1,087 games.
That's an incredible gap, but we've grown accustomed to Judge doing insane things on the diamond.
Judge currently leads MLB with 42 home runs — six more than the next player Shohei Ohtani at 36.
On top of that, Judge leads MLB in RBI (107), walks (99), on-base percentage (.463), slugging percentage (.699), OPS (1.162), total bases (293) and intentional walks (16).
One intriguing stat to keep an eye on is the slugging percentage. No player has recorded a .700 slugging percentage since Barry Bonds' historic season in 2004.
Judge has been enjoying a truly historic season, and his next milestone will be no different.
