New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge had perhaps the best performance of his career on Saturday. The two-time MVP was unconscious against his ex-teammate Nestor Cortes and the Milwaukee Brewers, blasting three home runs in his first four at-bats. Judge posted a staggering stat line in a game where New York put 16 runs in four innings. The Yankees eventually won this game by a score of 20-9.
Social media has been in awe of the slugger’s performance, giving one of the best players of this generation his flowers.

Even by Aaron Judge’s standards, Saturday’s performance was phenomenal
The Yankees’ captain tallied up four hits, three home runs, and eight RBIs in six at-bats on Saturday. Judge additionally almost became the first player in Major League Baseball history to hit for the home-run cycle. Yankees fans know this very well; this performance is terrifying for the rest of the league. Judge has had the tendency of growing into seasons after reasonably slow starts by his standards.
It’s a long season, but this kind of start might indicate that the 32-year-old is gunning to have an unprecedented year in 2025. And there’s very little pitchers can do, so long as the other Yankee hitters are viable threats. That was the case on Saturday as new offseason acquisitions Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldscmidt both had their first home runs in pinstripes. Several other players also had outstanding games in this blowout over a Brewers team that expects to be a contender.
Overall, the Yankees have gotten off to a 2-0 start in 2025. That is just what the doctor ordered for a team that has gone through adversity over the past few months with the injuries to Gerrit Cole and Giancarlo Stanton. Aaron Judge understands that, and so does the rest of the roster. That being said, it’s important to appreciate the transcendent player that is the Yankees’ captain, especially while he is in the middle of his prime.
