'You throw it, I'll pass it over'
New York Yankees flagship home run hitter Aaron Judge is showing a strong 'Running Mode'. He hit home runs in three consecutive games, widening the gap with Shohei Ohtani (L.A. Dodgers). He is also just one shy of the home run leader. While Ohtani is putting his energy into returning to the pitcher, Judge is diligently hitting out of the fence. It is already the fourth time in the last three games.

'You throw it. I'll pass it over to you"
Aaron Judge, the New York Yankees' leading home run hitter, is showing a strong 'Running Mode'. He hit home runs in three consecutive games, widening the gap with Shohei Ohtani (L.A. Dodgers). He is also just one shy of the home run leader. While Ohtani is putting his energy into returning to the pitcher, Judge is diligently hitting out of the fence. It is already the fourth time in the last three games.
Judge hit his 25th home run of the season in an away game between Kansas City and the Royals in the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri on the morning of the 12th (Korea time). He has four home runs in three games.
Judge, who started as the third right fielder in an away game in Kansas City, hit a home run in the top of the seventh inning when he was leading 5-0. Judge, who had only struck out swinging (1st inning), walked (2nd inning), and fly ball to right field (4th inning) in the previous three at-bats, gave off a powerful force in his fourth at-bat.
Judge, who faced Kansas City's third pitcher Stephen Cruz, hit a 99-mile-per-hour four-seam fastball from the ball count 1B2S to hit a solo home run over the right-center fence. It was a hit with a batting speed of 108.8 miles and a firing angle of 24 degrees. The distance was 413 feet (about 125.9 meters).
With this, Judge hit a home run in three consecutive games. Judge, who hit his 22nd and 23rd home runs of the season in the home game against the Boston Red Sox on the 9th, set a new record for the longest-distance home run at Kauffman Stadium by shooting a 470-foot (about 143.3m) home run in the first game of the three away games against Kansas City on the 11th.
He continued this momentum and added one home run on the 12th. With this, Judge hit 25 home runs in the season. He will follow Cal Lally (Seattle Mariners), the leader in the home run category, by one, while widening the gap in the number of home runs with Ohtani, who was tied for second place until two days ago. Ohtani has not hit a home run in nine consecutive games since hitting his 23rd home run against the New York Mets on the 3rd.

Ohtani seems to be slowly falling behind in the fiery home run race. Currently, Ohtani is not just focusing on hitting. He is in the midst of simulation pitching to return to the pitcher. It seems difficult to chase Judge, who is focusing all his energy on hitting because he is distributing energy as a hitter.
