Aaron Judge has quickly been climbing up the Yankees' all-time home run leaderboard since debuting during the 2016 season. In his first 182 games in the big leagues, he mashed 56 homers.
Aside from his short 2016 and the shortened season in 2020, Judge has been good for at least 27 home runs a year. And this season is no different, as he already has a league-leading 24 home runs.
According to Statmuse, Judge has 281 career home runs with the Bronx Bombers, ranking him eighth all-time, right behind Bernie Williams. Williams finished with 287, so we could certainly see Judge leapfrogging him for seventh all-time in a few weeks.
Which Yankees sluggers rank ahead of Aaron Judge?
Few Yankees sluggers rank ahead of Aaron Judge in terms of career home runs. However, the list of players above him are arguably some of the greatest players of all time.
Outside of Bernie Williams, Alex Rodriguez sits ahead of Judge. He finished his career with 351 home runs, just seven shy of tying New York's legendary catcher Yogi Berra.
Coming in at the four-spot is Joe DiMaggio. In 1,736 games, the slugger was able to muscle out 361 home runs. But, he was nothing compared to the players that hold the top three spots.
Lou Gehrig is ranked third with his 493 home runs, while Mickey Mantle is ranked second with 536 to his credit. While it could go without noting, Babe Ruth holds the top spot for career home runs with the Bronx Bombers.
In 2,084 games, Ruth was able to hit 659 homers. He played in 317 fewer games than Mantle did and hit 123 more home runs during his time. This is a record that might not ever be broken.
