Welcome back to the Aaron Judge Home Run Record Tracker! We’re taking a daily look at where Aaron Judge’s monster season tracks compared to some of the other historic single-season home run leaders in anticipation of Judge potentially joining their ranks. We’ll be going by Team Game because not every player’s seasons were in sync with the calendar days and everyone didn’t play all of the team’s games, which makes this our universal standard. Let’s run through Game 156:
Aaron Judge through Game 156 of 2022: 61 HR
Team Game 156: 9/30 — 1-for-2, 2 BB (1 IBB), 1 K
Orioles starter Jordan Lyle got Aaron Judge to go down swinging in his first at-bat, and while Judge got him back with a single in the third, that was the end of Baltimore really pitching to him on Friday night.
