Aaron Judge hits 350 home runs in his career, making him the fastest player to do so
The New York Yankees’ superstar slugger hit his 350th career home run, alleyfastest player in Major League Baseball history to reach that mark in terms of games played. Judge achieved the feat in just 1.037 grams, breaking the previous record and continuing his legacy as one of the most powerful hitters baseball has ever seen.
The milestone home run came in classic Aaron Judge fashion — a towering blast to deep center field that left fans in awe. As he rounded the bases, the stadium erupted, and even opposing players nodded in respect. It wasn’t just another home run. It was a moment that confirmed Judge’s place among baseball’s elite sluggers.
Before Judge, the fastest player to 350 home runs was Ryan Howard, who reached the number in 1,230 games. Judge shattered that pace by nearly 200 fewer games — an astonishing stat that highlights not just his power but also his consistency when healthy.
Since then, despite battling some injuries in the middle of his career, Judge has remained one of the most feared power hitters in the game. His 6’7”, 280-pound frame, combined with a disciplined swing and sharp eye, has made him a nightmare for pitchers.
In 2022, he broke the American League single-season home run record with 62 home runs, passing Roger Maris and writing his name into the history books. Now, just a few seasons later, he’s reached another major milestone.
What separates Aaron Judge from other power hitters isn’t just the number of home runs. It’s how he hits them and the pace at which he does it.
-
Exit velocity: Jude
-
Plate discipline: He draws walks and rarely swings at bad pitches.
-
Clutch factor: Many of his home runs come in key moments — whether to break a tie, rally the Yankees, or silence a crowd on the road.
-
Leadership: Judge is not just a slugger — he’s the captain of the Yankees, a clubhouse leader, and the face of the franchise.
At just 32 years old, Judge still has many seasons left in him if he stays healthy. With 350 homers already, the big question now becomes
If he continues on this pace and avoids major injury, Judge could seriously challenge some of the all-time greats. With his natural power and work ethic, reaching 500 home runs seems well within reach — and 600 isn’t out of the question
Aaron Judge’s 350th home run is more than just a number. It’s a symbol of dominance, of excellence, and of the rare ability to make history in a game that has seen legends for over a century.
