Judge, who is hitting .358 following a 3-for-4 afternoon, also easily can claim the most homers of any player through 1,088 games — 50 more than Hall of Fame slugger Ralph Kiner. His 35 homers this season represent the most by a Yankee before the All-Star break, eclipsing his previous best of 34 from one year ago.
Judge has been pretty great as well. With a 3-for-4 performance on Saturday, the All-Star and reigning MVP is leading the league with a .358 average and a 1.204 OPS. He also has 81 RBI.
