Judge is widely considered one of the greatest players in Major League Baseball after putting together a historical career during his 10 big-league seasons.
Since debuting in 2016, Judge owns a .294/.413/.615 slash line with 368 homers. The former AL Rookie of the Year has won a batting title and appeared in seven All-Star Games. He also became a Home Run Derby champion during the 2017 event.
