Aaron Judge Remains One of the Most Elite Players in Fantasy Baseball
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has been tearing the cover off the baseball in 2026, leading the league in home runs with 16 and sixth in RBI with 30. His Baseball Savant Page is covered in red with most of his underlying hitting metrics ranking in the 93rd percentile or better. Judge is delivering for fantasy managers on his consensus top 3 pick in most fantasy drafts earlier this spring, and is on pace for delivering north of 50 home runs, 100 RBI, and 100 runs scored once again. The one area where he has been struggling a bit compared to years prior is his strikeout rate, which is up to 29.3 percent this year, up from 23.6 percent in 2025 and 24.3 percent in 2024. That said, he still makes up for it with a 17.7 percent walk rate, which is in the 96th percentile in all of MLB. At 34-years-old, Judge remains the best outfielder in the game and is showing no signs of slowing down.
