Second-Fastest Player to Reach 200 Home Runs When Aaron Judge hit his 200 th career home run versus the Kansas City Royals in 2022, it may have taken a bit of a back page to Judge’s race for the American League home run title. It was number 42 on the season and came in the second inning of an 8-2 win. Judge hit his 200 th career home run in the 671 st game of his MLB career. Only Ryan Howard did it faster, taking 13 fewer games (658) than Judge. Judge also became only the fourth player drafted by the Yankees to hit at least 200 home runs in pinstripes , joining Jorge Posada, Derek Jeter, and Don Mattingly in the feat.

While it may have been a footnote during the 2022 season due to the quest to break the home run record, being the second-fastest player to the 200 mark solidifies Judge as one of the best home run hitters in the game today.

Judge becomes the second-fastest hitter to reach 200 career home runs.
