AARON Judge has become the fastest man to ever reach 300 home runs in the MLB.
The New York Yankees star, 32, achieved the feat during last night’s 10-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
Judge struck his 300th home run in the 955th game of his career.
This beats Ralph Kiner’s previous record of 1,087 games to reach 300, which was set in 1953.
With his team leading 6-2, Judge stepped up to the line after the White Sox had intentionally walked Juan Soto.
Judge then smashed the ball away for a three-run shot, achieving history in the process.
After reaching the notable landmark, Judge was humble in his response.
“It’s a great achievement,” he began.
“I’ve been in the game a little while now I guess — we’ve still got a long way to go — but like I said a couple days ago, I was hoping it’d come in a win.
“It came in a big win for us. We were down for a little bit and couldn’t get much going.
“So I was just excited it was in a big moment.”
In addition to being his 300th career home run, the 361-foot effort was also his 43rd of the season.
Soto, 25, was thrilled for his teammate after the game.
“That’s really impressive what he’s been doing and how quick he’s been doing it,” the four-time All-Star said.
“When you look at it, just incredible. So fast and so unbelievable.”
The White Sox’s decision to walk Soto was met with surprise – with the 2019 champion having not received that treatment all season.
‘IT MAKES SENSE’
But Judge was not caught off guard.
“You guys all saw how he was swinging the bat this week,” he said of his teammate.
“It makes sense. Guy had three homers [during Tuesday’s game], homered to start the game today. Why wouldn’t you?”
Fans were left in awe of Judge’s achievement.
“Congrats to Aaron Judge! Breaking records like this shows his incredible talent and dedication,” one wrote on X.
“Aaron Judge is amazing,” a second added.
