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 162:
Aaron Judge through Game 162 of 2022: 62 HR
Team Game 162: 10/5 — DNP
Judge had slogged his way through the final weeks of this season to get to the record-breaking 62nd homer, and it was clear that with nothing to play for in the finale, there was little point to being out there.
