Aaron Judge Projected to Break Yankees Record After Latest Home Run
Aaron Judge Projected to Break Yankees Record After Latest Home Run originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past three months, it's pretty much impossible to miss how great New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge has been during the 2025 MLB season. Advertisement Sure, Judge has already scaled dizzying heights as a hitter for the most storied franchise in baseball history. He holds the Yankees' single-season home run record and has won the American League MVP award twice in the last three seasons. Whether or not he wins a World Series, he will go down as one of the coldest to ever do it in Yankees colors. But what Judge has been up to this 2025 MLB season surpasses any and everything that he has achieved through his ninth full season in the major leagues. The 33-year-old has unlocked a whole new level as a hitter based on his stats and the eye test this season. Judge leads the major leagues in batting average and hits. He notched up his 25th home run of the season through 66 games against Cincinnati on Wednesday. New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (99)Credit: William Purnell-Imagn Images This brings his numbers to .394/.490/.779, with an OPS of 1.269. This OPS figure is the highest that any hitter has achieved since Barry Bonds' heyday in the early 2000s. Advertisement Judge is on pace to surpass Don Mattingly's 1986 record of 238 hits for the Yankees. If he produces at the same rate, he will end 2025 with 241 hits, which would place him tied-11th on the all-time MLB leaderboard. It goes without saying that Judge is facing possibly the toughest pitchers to ever grace the diamond. He has upped his production by swinging less often and reducing his strikeout tendencies. The Yankees' captain would be hoping to maintain this pace and help his team return to the World Series after their 2024 loss to the Dodgers.

Kodai Senga leaves with hamstring strain as Mets hang on for 4-3 win to sweep Nats
NEW YORK (AP) — Kodai Senga threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings Thursday before leaving with a hamstring strain in the New York Mets' 4-3 win over the Washington Nationals that completed a three-game sweep. Senga (7-3) allowed one hit and one walk before getting hurt while making a leaping grab of Pete Alonso's high throw on CJ Abrams' grounder between first and second. Senga touched the bag with his right foot on the way down but stumbled upon landing and reached for the back of his right leg. He hopped a couple of steps before tumbling to the ground. After being surrounded by a trainer, his interpreter, manager Carlos Mendoza and teammates, Senga walked off the field under his own power. He lowered his major league-leading ERA to 1.47, but will be placed on the injured list. Jeff McNeil stayed hot with a three-run homer in the first for the Mets, who have won six straight to improve to an MLB-best 45-24. Brandon Nimmo homered off the right field foul pole in the fifth. The Nationals snapped a 22-inning scoreless streak by rallying for three runs in the ninth, when Luis García Jr. and Josh Bell hit RBI singles and García scored on a wild pitch before Edwin Díaz got José Tena and Keibert Ruiz to ground out to earn his 15th save. Washington's Michael Soroka (3-4) gave up all four runs and struck out five in five innings. Key moment Díaz needed just two pitches to retire Tena and Ruiz following his run-scoring wild pitch. Key stat McNeil was 4-of-11 with five RBIs during the series and is batting .316 with four homers and 10 RBIs this month. Up next The Mets continue a six-game homestand Friday when RHP Clay Holmes (7-3, 2.95 ERA) starts for the Mets in the opener of a three-game series against RHP Taj Bradley (4-5, 4.58 ERA) and the Tampa Bay Rays. LHP Mitchell Parker (4-6, 4.44 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Nationals, who return home to face the Miami Marlins and RHP Edward Cabrera (2-2, 3.99 ERA). ___ AP MLB:
