The question is… can he hang with Hank? Hank aka Henry Aaron started playing at a younger age; he broke into the bigs at age 20, where Judge didn’t really start the majors until 24-25 years old. At the same age 33, Hank already had 478 homers compared to Judge, who is at 362 and rising! So right now he is a 100 homers off pace, but he did start at later age, so maybe he will be able to have longer longevity. Either way he is on a tear right now, and leading the league in like five categories… MVP??? three times.
