Keep dreaming, Beav. Exit velocity, schmexit velocity. You know what the exit velocity is on a punchado? Zero.
Stanton and Judge have been punched out 122 and 123 times respectively, approximately 50% more than JD's 88. Neither hs the hitter JD is and neither will ever be a triple crown candidate the way JD is. At the moment, only Mookie at .344 and Altuve at .337 stand higher than JD's .331.
Catch JD in home runs? Good luck with that. Martinez has 28 home runs. He has 10 of them in the Sox' 51 road games and 18 of them in the team's 40 home games. With 40 remaining home games and only 30 on the road, JD's shot at 50 is pretty clear. Not only that, the Sox, as the season drags on, have a total of four games remaining outside the Eastern time zone, while the Yanks still have a six game west coast trip among their 38 road games.
The three best players in the American League are Trout, Betts and Martinez. Judge is a great player, indeed, and Stanton a good one, but neither of them are in a class with the big 3.
