Aaron Judge Is Barreling Toward the Hallowed 500-Homer Club. He Might Be Joined by Several Peers

NEW YORK, JUL 12 – Aaron Judge set the MLB record by reaching 350 home runs in 1,088 games, 192 fewer than Mark McGwire, while leading the majors in batting average and OPS this season.

  • On Saturday, July 12, 2025, Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer off Chicago Cubs reliever Brad Keller in the ninth inning, becoming the fastest player to reach 350 homers in just 1,088 games.
  • Before Judge's milestone, Mark McGwire reached 350 homers in his 1,280th game and admitted using performance-enhancing drugs in 2010, leading to his Hall of Fame exclusion.
  • On both offense and defense, Aaron Judge made a diving catch to end the inning and robbed a home run from Houston Astros’ Kyle Tucker by leaping over the fence.
  • Manager Aaron Boone said `I just think he’s playing in a different league` and Major League Baseball’s social media account declared `All rise for The Judge`.
  • At his current pace, Judge has 323 games left to hit 50 more home runs and sets his sights on becoming the fastest to 400 homers.
