Aaron Judge leading the top players’ table with increasing chances of becoming 2025 MVP
The year 2025 is the year of Juan Soto, and that’s not us saying, it’s what baseball fans, critics, and players saying as well. Judge has been performing tremendously well, setting new records in every match, and giving his 200% all the time. However, the question still lingers on whether Aaron Judge will be crowned as the MVP or not. Let’s dive deep into the stats for this.
Aaron Judge leading the table with a high margin
Usually, when a player leads the table, the second most qualified hitter is often a few points behind, with chances of overtaking the top player in the last round. However, Aaron Judge has set a huge margin between the positions, making it difficult for anyone to even touch Judge in the top players’ table.
For reference, Aaron Judge has a current hitting average of .427, and the second top player of MLB 2025, Pete Alonso from the New York Mets, has a hitting average of .342, which is clearly a 71-point difference! Now, covering this gap is no easy task, and Aaron has made sure of it.
Aaron Judge’s 2024 performance and statistics
Looking back at Judge’s performance last year, the Yankees’ star player had a total of 559 at-bats, of which he scored 58 home runs, 144 RBIs, a hitting average of .322, OBP of .458, and 1.159 OPS. His 2024 hitting average is what most players are trying to achieve this season, showcasing how Judge has evolved over the year.
Even if a comparison is drawn between Judge’s performance during April of 2024 to that of 2025, he was performing way better than most players. The comparison stats clearly show that Judge is an out-of-league player, one with whom you cannot compare anyone else.
Though Judge had been the core of various controversies, involving former Yankees players, torpedo bats, etc., he has never lost his momentum. In fact, he let his bat do all the talking, showing everyone why he is called a once-in-a-generation player. With such strong stats, there are high chances that Aaron Judge will be crowned as the ultimate MVP by the end of the series. Moreover, Judge is also representing Team USA as the captain, for the World Baseball Classic in 2026, adding more feathers to his already glorified hat.
