Fastest to 300 home runs

Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees has become the fastest player in MLB history to hit 300 career home runs, achieving the milestone in just 955 games, surpassing Ralph Kiner's previous record of 1,087 games. Judge hit his 300th home run during a game against the Chicago White Sox, a three-run shot off pitcher Chad Kuhl, marking his 43rd homer of the season. This historic achievement highlights Judge’s remarkable performance, especially considering he began the 2024 season with only four home runs in his first 27 games. Since then, he has significantly improved his batting average and OPS, demonstrating his offensive prowess over the last few months. At 32 years old and under contract until 2031, Judge's future in the league looks promising as he aims for more milestones and potential postseason success. His previous accolades include being a six-time All-Star and the 2022 American League MVP after setting the single-season AL record with 62 home runs.
