Aaron Judge, who played college baseball at California State University, Fresno, was selected by the New York Yankees in the first round of the 2013 MLB draft. After making his Major League baseball debut in 2016 and hitting a home run in his first career at bat, Judge went on to have a record-breaking rookie season in 2017. He was named an All-Star and won the Home Run Derby, becoming the first rookie to do so. Judge ended the season with 52 home runs, breaking Mark McGwire's MLB rookie record of 49 and the Yankees' full-season rookie record of 29 (previously held by Joe DiMaggio). Judge was unanimously selected as the American League Rookie of the Year in 2017 and finished second for AL Most Valuable Player.
