Aaron Judge is currently on pace for 60 home runs. It will be interesting to see if he can catch Roger Maris' franchise record of 61. Maris broke Babe Ruth's long-time record of 60 home runs back in 1961.
Judge seems to love hitting at Camden Yards and fans agree.
Judge would definitely be the league's MVP if the season ended today. There is very little debate about that. Judge plays on the team with the best record, and without him, they would not be where they are at.
Judge is currently in contract negotiations because he is in the last year of his contract this season. Fans want the New York Yankees to pay him whatever it takes.
Overall, Aaron Judge continues to amaze fans across the sport as he does not seem to slow down with his incredible home run pace. It will be interesting to see how many he can finish with by the end of the season.

The Yankees and Aaron Judge are off to an incredible season. The Yankees enter play tonight with the best record in baseball at 64-30. Aaron Judge leads all of baseball with 36 home runs.
The Yankees have their best chance of winning the World Series since 2009. They just need to make several moves at the deadline to bolster their roster for the final playoff push. Here are two players the Yankees should consider adding before the trade deadline.
#2 Ian Happ, Chicago Cubs
Because of outfielder Joey Gallo's struggles, the team may look to add an outfielder at the deadline. Happ would provide the team with a power switch hitter who plays above-average defense.
#1 Luis Castillo, Cincinnati Reds
You can never have enough pitching when it comes playoff time. Despite the Yankees rotation being one of the best in baseball, the team could most definitely use another ace to add to the rotation.
Cincinnati Reds' Luis Castillo is among one of the top targets by teams in this year's trade deadline. Castillo would give the Yankees one of the deepest rotations in baseball.
