The biggest breakout star of the 2017 MLB season also ended up with the most popular selling jersey: Aaron Judge.
More Judge jerseys were sold on MLBShop.com this season than any other player’s jersey, according to a release shared by MLB on Tuesday. The rookie, who slugged 52 home runs during the regular season, finished ahead of the Cubs’ Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo on the list. Bryant had the No. 1 selling jersey in both 2015 and 2016.
The Cubs had the most players in the top 20 for jersey sales (four), while the Dodgers were second (three).
