Is Aaron Judge the best (righty) hitter we've ever seen?

No

No

You got any brains?

Well look at that, you already answered.

No

He'd need to do this a lot more years to be in the conversation but in terms of peak years he's already had a few that are as good as Mays or Pujols or Thomas or Aaron or even old timers like Wagner and Hornsby

Another great year, definitely compares to the ones Judge has had lately

The game was a little different then (.424 averages are not happening anymore). Judge's 2024 OPS+ is the same as Hornsby's 100 years ago that you linked. One tick higher actually, so compared to his peers Judge had a similar year.
