Aaron Judge made his MLB debut on August 13, 2016. In his first MLB at-bat, Judge hit a home run off Matt Andriese. Judge also hit a home run in his second MLB game, becoming the second Yankees player, after Joe Lefebvre in 1980, to homer in each of his first two MLB games. Judge became the first AL rookie with 100 walks in a season since Al Rosen (1950), and the first player in MLB to do it since Jim Gilliam (1953). On September 10, Judge received his 107th walk, the most walks by a rookie in a season since Ted Williams in 1939. During the same game, he also became the second rookie in MLB history to hit 40 home runs in a season since McGwire (1987). On September 25, Judge hit his 49th and 50th home runs, tying and surpassing Mark McGwire's single-season rookie home run record. On September 30, Judge hit his 52nd home run of the season and his 33rd at Yankee Stadium, surpassing Babe Ruth's single-season record for most home runs hit by a Yankees player at his home ballpark.
