Aaron Judge Wins American League MVP
Aaron Judge was named the 2022 American League Most Valuable Player on Thursday. Judge picked a nice season to set an AL record with 62 home runs before becoming a free agent this offseason. While also breaking Roger Maris' single-season AL home run record, Judge also finished just five batting average points shy of the Triple Crown. The right-handed slugger beat out Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani. Judge hit 16 more homers than anybody else in baseball and also led the league in RBI (131), OPS (1.111), OPS+ (211), total bases (391) and runs scored (133). His 15.9 percent walk rate was in the top one percent in baseball, and his 23.9 percent chase rate ranked in the 89th percentile. Wherever Judge is playing in 2023, he'll be the best power target in fantasy baseball.

Aaron Judge Blasts 11th Homer
Aaron Judge is on another planet at the plate right now. The reigning MVP crushed a homer off right-hander Zack Littell, which was his fourth in the last seven games. He would later single in the contest as well, which pushed Judge's multiple-hit streak to six games. Yes, you're reading that correctly, Judge has recorded two hits or more in six straight games. The right-handed slugger is hitting .432 on the season, which actually might be better than video game numbers. Judge has 11 home runs on the season and extended his hitting streak to 13 games with his performance on Saturday.

Aaron Judge Homers In Three-Hit Game
Aaron Judge went 3-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, one run, and one walk in a 5-4 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday. He continues to show why he is the best hitter in baseball, and his .427/.521/.761 slash line is almost unbelievable. This was his fourth straight multi-hit game and his third home run over that span. Judge could potentially make a run at the triple crown this season and is making his case to be the first overall pick of 2026 fantasy drafts.

Aaron Judge Tallies Four Hits On Tuesday
Aaron Judge went 4-for-4 with a double, a run, and a stolen base during their 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday evening. Judge would hit his double in the sixth inning and would score on a Paul Goldschmidt sacrifice fly. He would tally his third single of the game in the eighth inning and then proceed to swipe second base, but could not cross home plate a second time. This extended Judge's current hitting streak to four games. Over his previous 11 contests, the 32-year-old has only gone hitless once and posted an impressive .488/.571/.659 slash line with four doubles and one long ball. Through 24 games, Judge has gone deep seven times and holds an impressive .411 AVG. He remains a top option in DFS and a must-start option in all formats.
