On Friday, Major League Baseball announced each team’s nominee for the Hank Aaron Award.
Since 1999, MLB has awarded the Hank Aaron Award to the best overall offensive performer in each league. The award began in 1999 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Aaron breaking Babe Ruth’s all-time home run record.
The New York Yankees‘ nominee is Aaron Judge.
After a spectacular year at the plate, @TheJudge44 has been named a Hank Aaron Award finalist. #AllRise
