Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees has begun to dominate all major hitting categories charts by swinging his bat every day.

Judge appeared as the third right fielder in an away game against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards Oriole Park in Baltimore, Maryland on the 1st (Korea time) and hit three hits, three RBIs and one run in three at-bats, including a home run. The Yankees lost 4-5 despite Judge's performance.

Jersey's dormant cannon has recently exploded. Since Game 2 of the doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays on the 28th, he has hit three home runs in four games and tied for first place in this category with 10 home runs of the season. He was on par with Seattle Mariners Cal Raleigh and Arizona Diamondbacks Euheio Suarez.




In addition, Judge added three RBIs and tied for the lead with Los Angeles Dodgers Teoscar Hernandez with 32 this season. He ranked first in batting average (0.427), hits (50), on-base percentage (0.521), slugging percentage (0.761), OPS (1.282), and Ruta (89) while bWAR (2.7) and fWAR (2.9) are also the dominant players. His 29 points are No. 1 in the AL.

If you choose MVP now, Judge is virtually unanimous.

After one out in the top of the first inning, Trent Grisham hit a left-handed hit to provide a chance. Judge, who then appeared, hit a sweeper in the middle of left-hander Cade Povich's second pitch of 82.6 miles on One Strike and crossed the middle fence well. The ball, which flew 31 degrees in firing angle and 112.1 miles in hitting speed, was connected with a large two-run shot with a flying distance of 426 feet that hit the top of the screen behind the fence in the middle of Oriole Park.

Judge, who got four intentional pitches in the third inning, trailing 2-4, got on base with a right-handed hit after two outs in the fifth inning when he chased 3-4. However, Ben Rice was held in check and was out.

Trailing 3-5, the third baseman with two outs in the seventh inning hit a left-handed hit to add an RBI. He pulled a 96.7 mile sinker that was drawn into the middle of the third pitch from a two-ball against right-hander Yenier Cano, bringing home third baseman Oswald Peraza with a bullet-like hit.




Judge will have 52 home runs, 261 hits, 167 RBIs, 152 runs and 465 hits if he keeps his current pace to the end of the season. Judge has been on base for 27 consecutive games since April 3. Judge also hit a career-high 47 home runs against Baltimore, more than any other team. He also drew a total of 26 arches at Oriole Park, marking the third-most home runs in history after Alex Rodriguez (34) and David Otis (30).

It is not known how long he will maintain his batting average in the .400 range, but his hit production pace is similar to when Ichiro Suzuki hit a season-high 262 in 2004.

The Yankees fell behind Baltimore (12-18), the lowest in the AL East, but still maintained the global lead with 18-13 losses.
