The Yankees were expected to hit a lot of home runs this year. On September 29, they became the most prolific home run hitting team in baseball history. With a home run by Gleyber Torres in Saturday’s win against the Red Sox, the Bombers recorded their 265th homer as a team, which broke the regular season record.
Additionally, Torres’ home run came from the ninth spot in the order which as a result gave the Yankees at least 20 home runs from every spot in the batting order, a new record. This was after Luke Voit’s home run Friday night gave the Yankees another record with 12 players with ten or more homers.
