The best hitting season of all time? After breaking the tie with Roger Maris for American League single season home run record, Aaron Judge is more than deserving of being in the conversation with Barry Bonds and others for the most impressive campaign in history. 11.5 fWAR. That’s two perennial all stars combined. Pretty remarkable.
It may have taken Judge a little bit longer to get to 62 than we all expected, but he’s human, and sometimes pressure affects your mind and body. Nonetheless, he did it, and I’m here to take you through the at-bat that got him there.
