The Yankees have achieved a remarkable start to the 2025 MLB season, setting records with their power-hitting, particularly with Aaron Judge leading the charge. Judge is excelling in all key batting metrics, with many considering him among the greatest hitters of all time. Surprising contributions from players like Paul Goldschmidt, Ben Rice, and Trent Grisham have bolstered the lineup, helping the team compete vigorously in the challenging AL East amidst injuries. This month has provided a crucial evaluation period for general manager Brian Cashmanâs roster decisions.
Just as important as Judge's leading role have been a trio of surprising performers who have helped him carry the offense. Eyebrows were raised when the Yankees landed on Paul Goldschmidt as their starting first baseman, but the 37-year-old is second in baseball behind Judge with a .356 average, his veteran example providing an invaluable reference point for his younger teammates.
The Yankees offense is off to an historic start, becoming the first team in MLB history to lead off two games with three consecutive home runs as well as four homers in the first inning.
