Yankees' Aaron Judge, Phillies' Bryce Harper battle on active player home run leaderboard image

Aaron Judge broke a tie with Bryce Harper on Wednesday night.

But the Yankees and Phillies superstars are far from done with this battle.

Judge moved himself ahead of Harper on the active player home run leaderboard by going deep against the Blue Jays.

The 6-foot-7 righty now has 346 career homers, compared to 345 for Harper.

With that blast, Judge moved into seventh on the active list. Harper is eighth, and both are trying to climb.

This is how the active top-10 in career home runs looks:

  • Giancarlo Stanton: 430
  • Mike Trout: 391
  • Paul Goldschmidt: 370
  • Manny Machado: 355
  • Freddie Freeman: 353
  • Nolan Arenado: 351
  • Aaron Judge: 346
  • Bryce Harper: 345
  • Carlos Santana: 334
  • Andrew McCutchen: 327

Trout has the second-fewest plate appearances in the top-10, at 6,895. Judge only has 4,706 career plate appearances.

Judge won't be able to climb to the top of MLB all-time because he broke into the majors too late, but in his time at the highest level, Judge has been prodigious.

There's a lot of potential for leapfrogging on that list, too, so don't be surprised if some of these names change places before all is said and done.
