Aaron Judge Shatters Records and Defies Expectations in Epic Subway Series Showdown
The version of Judge we’re witnessing dwarfs those numbers. Starting with 2022, he’s batting .315. He’s running an absurd .439 on-base percentage (this season, he’s at .497). He’s slugging .685, and again, the arrow is pointing up as he enters this series with a .782 in the SLG column.
Judge Against Shohei Ohtani
For understandable reasons, I don’t think Judge is the most popular answer to “Who’s the best player in baseball?” Shohei Ohtani is. If you twist that even a little bit – most talented, most interesting, most historic – Ohtani is a hands-down winner. But if the operative word is “best,” Judge has the edge. He has topped the WAR (Wins Above Replacement) charts in two of the past three years and has soared out to a lead this year.
