Yankees Aaron Judge On Pace To Break Roger Maris’ Al Record After Homer No. 55


Back in spring training New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge turned down a reasonable seven-year extension of his contract worth $213.5 million. This was a risky decision that’s for sure but Judge is responding this year by doing something that appeared impossible: he’s earned his own money. Certain players will break under the pressure. Judge isn’t. He’s thrived.

Aaron Judge hit his record-setting MLB-leading 55th homer for the year on Monday afternoon, against the Twins. It was his fourth home run in the same game. Judge is also the league’s leader in runs scored, walks, RBI, total bases as well as slugging percentages, OPS, OPS+, and both the FanGraphs and Baseball-Reference versions of WAR. The race to win the home run crown isn’t really a race in the slightest.

Averaging 55 homers over the 136 games of the team makes Judge on track to hit 66 homers this season. We’re into September, and Aaron Judge has kept the pace at which he hits home runs. This will not only give him the chance to hit 60 homers but also gives him a chance to break an American League single-season record. It’s Roger Maris’ 61 homers during the 1961 Yankees.
