Aaron Judge’s Stunning Struggle: Why the Reigning MVP’s Historic Season Opener Collapse Has Fans Reeling
It marked the first time Judge posted four strikeouts in a game since Sept. 28, 2024. He didn’t do that once in 152 appearances during the 2025 season.
Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com, Judge is the first reigning MVP to earn a golden sombrero in a season opener. Previously, the high mark was three, shared by Willlie Stargell (1980), Sammy Sosa (1999), Mike Trout (2015), Josh Donaldson (2016) and Kris Bryant (2017).
Is any of this reason to be concerned for the 33-year-old superstar? Well, he posted five four-strikeout games in 2024 and still managed to hit .322/.458/.701 with 58 homers, so … go ahead and doubt him if you want.
