AVG+ on Fangraphs compares a player’s batting average to the league
Judge's .330 is 35 percent above average, exactly the same as Nomar Garciaparra .372 in 2000 (when the average was .270), Rod Carew .350 in 1973 (avg .257), and Babe Ruth .393 in 1923 (avg .284) www.fangraphs.com/leaders/majo...

Qualified batters:
2024 median SB: 9
2024 Q3 (75th percentile) SB: 19
1984 median SB: 7.5
1984 Q3 (75th percentile) SB: 17.5
