The accolades keep rolling in for New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge amidst his historic start to the 2025 campaign. On May 16, Judge became the fastest player in MLB to reach base for the 100th time in a season since Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants in 2002.

With whom Mets manager Carlos Mendoza recently called “one of the best right-handed hitters in the history of the game,” Yankees slugger Aaron Judge up to bat and the Mets up 2-1 with two outs and no one on base, Díaz knew he “wasn’t going to give up a bomb.”

It speaks to Juan Soto’s brilliance that no one or even two players were going to be able to do enough in his wake to make the Yankees offense as good, much less better, than last season.
