New York Yankees outfielder and heavy hitter Aaron Judge continues to keep his faith as his “foundation” at the start of the 2025 MLB season.
According to Sports Spectrum, Judge leads the entire MLB in these stats: “batting average (.427), on-base percentage (.521), slugging percentage (.761), OPS (1.282), hits (50), total bases (89), and WAR (2.7).”

He also just sent another ball for a ride during their game against the Baltimore Orioles, making that his 10th home run and 32nd RBI of the season.
When talking with CBN Sports at the 2024 All-Star game, Judge discussed the one thing that keeps him grounded: his faith in God.
“That’s where it starts for me — the foundation, where I get a lot of my strength, and being able to do what I do on a daily basis, it all comes from that,” he said. “I never would’ve imagined I’d be in this position — getting drafted, working my way up to the major leagues, then getting the chance to be in an All-Star Game is surreal. It all starts with faith.”
On all of his social media platforms, Judge lists “Christian” as the first thing in his bio. He includes 2 Corinthians 5:7 on his X page as his cover photo.
The verse reads: “For we live by faith, not by sight.”
“It’s one of my favorite Bible verses,” Judge said on a radio broadcast in 2019 at a Fresno State football game. “I try to live my life by it, and always trust the Man Above and what He’s got in store for us. We never know what’s around the corner, but if we have faith in Him, He will lead us in the right direction.”
His two adoptive parents, Patty and Wayne Judge, shaped his childhood and helped him understand from an early age “how adoption imagery in the Bible has helped him better understand God’s love.”
“His love is incredible. It has no ends,” the outfielder told CBN Sports. “The position I was in, being adopted by my parents, for them to pick me, choose me, put me in their lives, it’s incredible. If you would’ve told me back then when I was 5 years old that I’d be in the World Series with the Yankees, that I’d be the captain of the Yankees, I probably never would’ve believed you. But just having His blessings, keeping the faith through good times and bad times knowing He’s always with me, that’s definitely helped me get to this position.”
Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has gotten off to a hot start in the 2025 MLB season. As he continues to put up impressive stats, he will be considered to win another American League Most Valuable Player award. But for him, playing for the Lord is what counts.
