Aaron Judge hit his 350th career home run in Saturday’s 5-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs. In doing so, the New York Yankees slugger reached that milestone number fast than any other player in baseball history.
The homer was also No. 35 for Judge this season, coming in the ninth inning against Cubs reliever Brad Keller. Keller tried to get a 97.7 mph fastball past Judge high in the strike zone, but it was right down the middle and Judge didn’t miss it.
Judge reached 350 home runs in his career in 1,098 games, 192 games sooner than Mark McGwire. McGwire got No, 350 in 1,280 games, according to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs. The five players now below Judge are as follows:
