Referring to any non-Aaron Judge player as "Aaron Judge" in one form or another is less of a moniker and more of a title, one that merits defending. Up until June, this is one title that Yankees minor leaguer Spencer Jones didn’t quite live up to.

Aaron Judge was among the three MVPs Burns struck out in his first time through the Yankees' order. Judge, who earned the most votes overall, and Ohtani will start for the AL and NL, respectively, with MLB naming finalists for the remaining positions.

Aaron Judge has hit 33+ first-half home runs in three of the last four years, a feat no other MLB player has ever achieved in their career.
