Aaron Judge had a season for the ages and will win the American League MVP .

Judge hit 58 home runs and 144 RBIs.

He had the highest adjusted OPS ever for a right-handed batter and highest adjusted runs created for any hitter besides Babe Ruth , Lou Gehrig , Ted Williams and Barry Bonds .

Judge doesn't hold the single-season record for home runs.

Judge's number is the lowest of the bunch due to the sheer number of home runs being hit in today 's game.

Ruth was the first player to hit 50 home runs in a season and then the first to hit 60 .

Ruth dominated his peers the way Ruth did in the 1920s and 1930s .

Aaron Judge is the best pure home run hitter of all time.

He's playing at one of the highest peak levels we've ever seen from a hitter.

The biggest knock against Judge is, of course, that he played at a time when pitchers didn't throw as hard.
