Can Aaron Judge Sustain MVP-Level Production in 2026?
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has established himself as arguably the best hitter in baseball, winning three out of the last four American League MVP awards. In 2025, Judge posted a .331/.457/.688 slash line with 53 home runs, 114 RBI, 137 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases across 679 plate appearances. However, Judge will turn 34 years old in April, putting into question just how much longer he can sustain his unbelievable run at the plate. Judge has also been able to stay mostly healthy in recent years, but he played through an elbow injury in 2025 and has missed significant chunks of several seasons due to injury earlier in his career. On the plus side, the Yankees recently re-signed outfielder Cody Bellinger, providing Judge with some much-needed help around him in the lineup. The Yankees led MLB in runs scored (849) in 2025 and will run it back in 2026 with basically the same team, so Judge should have plenty of opportunities to rack up counting stats. Some age-related decline should be expected, but Judge still profiles as an elite outfield option for fantasy managers as long as he stays healthy heading into 2026.
