New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge in his seven years in the Bronx, has already pulled off countless impressive statistics. Hitting over 50 home runs in two years and hitting one of the hardest-hit home runs in his rookie year are certainly among those statistics. And now, after having a historic season in 2022, Judge is gearing up for an even better one in the coming season.
However, he is not the only outfielder in the big league pulling off remarkable statistics. Recently, a shocking statistic came to light that got pulled off by All Rise Aaron Judge and Seattle Mariners outfielder Teoscar Hernandez, which has captivated the Mariners slugger as well.

The outfielder, Teoscar Hernandez, recently posted a picture on his Instagram story that showed a statistic involving only him and Yankees Captain Aaron Judge. According to it, Hernández and Judge are the only two outfielders in the league to have over 25 home runs in each of the last three seasons.
Admittingly, it wasn’t an easy thing to do. But the Mariners’ and Yankees’ sluggers have done it by playing a minimum of 50 games in the outfield. The statistic also intrigued the Mariners slugger, as he put some side eyes emoticons as caption while putting on the Instagram story.
However, whether Hernández will pose a threat to Aaron Judge in the upcoming season remains to be seen. Also, after completing MLB’s 2022 season, Hernández got traded to the Seattle Mariners. The Jays had traded him in exchange for Erik Swanson and Adam Macko, whereas Judge remains a Yankee.
