Probably won't be is he's somehow still batting .375+ post all star break.

People will start talking about it as one of the greatest hitting seasons ever if it gets to that point..as well as a triple crown chase if Big Dumper ever comes back to earth

He's actually been outperforming his expected stats by quite a bit -- not a surprise, considering how great his numbers have been:

BA: .396
xBA: .333!

SLG: .771
xSLG: .727

Expect regression from Judge in the second half.

Most would agree with this. Question is how much? He averaged 1.08 K's per game last season and improved slightly to 1.00 this season. This in spite of getting walked quite a bit less (0.69 in 2025 versus 0.84 BB/game last year). He's seemingly has a better eye this season versus getting lucky. He may not regress much unless an injury were to impact him.

His plate discipline can be quantified more precisely:

Meat% (percentage of pitches in the heart of the zone swung at): 80.2% vs 79.6% career average

Chase% (pitches out of the zone swung at): 21.6% vs 21.9% career average

Swing rate: 45.5% (career high) vs 42.1% career average

So he's been more aggressive this season.

That regression to a .727 SLG is going to be rough, boys. Buckle up.

That atrocious slg percentage puts him right behind Frank Thomas 94 MVP campaign.

noticed Aaron judges 2017 archives base selling for $100

curious as to why this is? I always remember it as like a $30-40 card and am not really seeing what would set it apart from other sets that I would consider better

#62 is just a beautiful card. Clean nice design and a tough one to gem due to centering issues.
