Aaron Judge is one of one.
There's never been a hitter in baseball quite like the New York Yankees' 6-foot-7 superstar.
And there's actually one way to prove that.
OptaStats came out with the magic combination after Judge won the MVP on Thursday night. The stats service shared that one combination of stats has only ever been done three times in MLB history:
- 50-plus home runs
- 80-plus extra-base hits
- 1.100-plus OPS
- Made the playoffs
- Won MVP

That had never occurred in an MLB season until 2022.
Judge did it in 2022.
Then Judge did it in 2024.
And now Judge did it in 2025.

All three instances of that impressive combination of stats have been done by Judge.
There really is no one like him.
He's epically powerful, yes, but he also has turned into a great bat-to-ball hitter for average, too.
Judge is a nightmare for opposing pitchers, maybe the greatest right-handed hitter of all time. And he continues to prove it, night after night, season after season.
