On Friday night, Shohei Ohtani, the National League MVP frontrunner, made history by becoming just the sixth player in Major League Baseball to achieve a 40/40 season. Meanwhile, across the country, American League MVP favorite Aaron Judge was making headlines of his own, hitting his 49th home run of the season against the Colorado Rockies.

Both Ohtani and Judge are chasing unique milestones this year. Ohtani is on pace to challenge the unprecedented feat of hitting 50 home runs and stealing 50 bases in a single season.

Judge, on the other hand, could become the first player not linked to performance-enhancing drugs to hit 60 home runs in multiple seasons.

“His season could end right now and it could be a really good, special year for him,” Nestor Cortes said. “With a month left or a month and 10 days, whatever it is, it’s going to be fun to watch going down the stretch.”

While the final outcome of these historic pursuits won’t be known until the end of the season, Judge has already secured his place in the record books with Friday’s home run.

Judge’s numbers

With his Friday night blast, Judge became the first player in MLB history to hit over .375 with 45 home runs and 100 or more RBIs over a 100-game span.

Over those 100 games, he has recorded a .378 batting average, 45 homers, 106 RBIs, a .505 on-base percentage, and a remarkable .835 slugging percentage, resulting in an OPS of 1.340. Achieving such figures over a significant stretch of the season is nearly unprecedented.

This season, Judge‘s combination of power and average has been nearly unparalleled outside of the steroid-era, with comparisons drawn to Barry Bonds. Bonds was intentionally walked 120 times in 2004, while Judge has been intentionally walked only 16 times this season.
