Aaron Judge is on track to win his American League (AL) MVP award, and Todd Frazier loves what he’s doing this season. While speaking with On3 in June, Frazier, a former Yankees third baseman and currently Yankees analyst for the YES Network, was asked if the 2025 season is the best Judge has looked in his entire career.

“That’s a good one because he’s looked really, really good. I don’t know if it’s the best he’s ever looked, but it’s right there,” Todd Frazier told On3. “I think it’s the most consistent. He’s been so consistent this year with his approach. He hasn’t swung in many pitches outside his zone and when he has, he still has an opportunity to do some damage. I wouldn’t say the best. But I would say he’s more consistent in his approach, and that is even better than his best if you want the truth.”

As of this writing, Aaron Judge currently leads the AL in batting average (.345), he’s tied for first in RBIs (84) and is second in home runs behind 2025 Home Run Derby champion Cal Raleigh (37). According to ESPN, Judge is on pace to finish with 59 homers and 133 RBIs, which would be close to the totals he had in 2024 when he won his second MVP (58 HRs and 144 RBIs).

Can Aaron Judge win a World Series with the Yankees?

But what is standing out for Judge is what Frazier mentioned, and that is his approach at the plate. Because of his consistency there, the 33-year-old leads the AL in hits with 129, and his current batting average is the highest in his career.

All that is great, but can Judge help the Yankees win their first World Series since 2009? The team made the Fall Classic last year but lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games. After the World Series, Judge told reporters the loss would give him extra motivation in 2025.

“I know this is only going to fuel a lot of guys, fuel me especially. I want to be on the other side of it,” Judge said, per Daily News. “I think falling short in the World Series will stick with me until I die.”
