Aaron Judge's performance in May 2024 has been historic, as he achieved 26 extra-base hits, including 14 home runs and 12 doubles. This performance ties him for the third most extra-base hits in any month for a Yankees player, behind Joe DiMaggio's 31 in July 1937 and Lou Gehrig's 29 in July 1930. Judge's achievement also places him among elite company, joining Ty Cobb and Earl Webb as the only players since 1906 with 25 or more extra-base hits in May. Additionally, Judge's 24 extra-base hits in May are the most by a Yankee in a month since Joe DiMaggio's 31 in July 1937. With his three-run homer at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Judge closed out May by surpassing Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig for the most May extra-base hits in Yankees history and taking MLB's HR lead. Notably, Juan Soto also had 129 total bases through May 2024. Judge made his long-awaited Oracle Park debut in Yankees pinstripes.
