Aaron Judge Gets Crowned As MLB’s Hardest Hitter
The Yankees captain knows how to hit the ball well, and it’s no surprise that he has been crowned as MLB’s hardest hitter. Judge recorded the highest hit percentage of hard-hit balls in 2024. It’s not the first time the slugger has won this award.
The All-Star bagged the award for the third straight time, leading the league with 48 percent of hard-hit balls. Despite his spectacular performance, the Yankees were ranked fifth in hard-hit baseballs last season.
It’s not surprising that Aaron Judge won the AL MVP after all. The Yankees captain is looking forward to another World Series run in 2025. Meanwhile, the Detroit Tigers have signed Gleyber Torres, and fans are not too happy with the deal.
