New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge is just one home run away from etching his name deeper into MLB record books.

As the Yankees open a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night, Judge has the chance to tie Hall of Famer Harold Baines for 69th place on the all-time career home run list with his 384th homer.

Judge Off to Historic Start in 2026

Judge has been on an absolute tear early this season. He reached his 15th home run in just 37 games — the fastest he has ever achieved that mark in his career and the quickest any Yankee has done it since Alex Rodriguez in 2007 (31 games).

The reigning AL MVP is currently batting .270 with 37 hits, 15 home runs, 29 RBI, 34 runs scored, and 5 stolen bases in 38 games.

DraftKings noted:

“15 home runs in 37 games for Aaron Judge 🔥 Judge is on pace to hit 66 homers in 2026 – 4 more than his own American League record of 62, set in 2022 👀”

Yankees Rolling Into Milwaukee

New York enters the series with a strong 26-12 record, comfortably leading the AL East. They are also a very impressive 12-6 on the road this season.

The Brewers, meanwhile, sit at 19-16 and are fourth in the NL Central.

What’s at Stake for Judge and the Yankees

One more long ball from Judge in this series would not only move him up the all-time home run leaderboard but also continue his remarkable 2026 campaign. At his current pace, the 34-year-old slugger is on track to challenge some of the biggest single-season home run records in baseball history.

With the Yankees already one of the hottest teams in baseball, a historic moment from their captain could provide even more momentum as they push toward another deep postseason run.
