Another crown for the Captain! Aaron Judge has officially captured the 2025 Hank Aaron Award, sending the Bronx into a roar of pride. A superstar, a leader, a legacy growing stronger each season.
NEW YORK — The Captain continues to add hardware to his legendary resume. In an “emotion-filled, electrifying” announcement from the MLB Awards ceremony in Las Vegas, New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge was officially named the winner of the 2025 American League Hank Aaron Award.
The award, given to the most outstanding offensive performer in each league, solidifies Judge’s 2025 campaign as one of the most dominant in modern history. The honor “sent the Bronx into a roar of pride” and comes on the same night Judge was also crowned the 2025 American League MVP, marking one of the most decorated single seasons of his career.
This is the third Hank Aaron Award for Judge (2022, 2024, 2025), cementing his status as the most dominant offensive force of his era.
A Season of Unmatched Dominance
Judge, 33, earned the “electrifying” honor by putting up video-game numbers, leading the league in nearly every major offensive category. His 2025 performance was a masterclass in hitting:
- Batting Average: .331 (Led all of MLB)
- Home Runs: 53
- RBIs: 114
- OPS: 1.145 (Led AL)
- OPS+: 215 (Led all of MLB)
While Seattle’s Cal Raleigh’s 60-homer season created a historic MVP debate, the Hank Aaron Award voters (a panel of Hall of Famers and a fan vote) agreed that Judge’s all-around offensive production—his ability to blend elite power with a .331 batting title—was simply in a class of its own.
In a “superstar” moment, Judge accepted the award while speaking about his drive to win, cementing his “legacy” not just as a slugger, but as one of the greatest all-around hitters in the game today. He is a leader whose presence defines the franchise and a legend whose career grows stronger with every passing season.
