On the other side, Aaron Judge of the Yankees has been nothing short of spectacular. Known for his power-hitting ability, Judge did not disappoint in recent outings. He showcased his prowess by hitting an impressive .667 with an OBP of .800 and SLG of 1.667 in one game, reflecting his significant impact on the team's offensive strength.
