Aaron Judge Home Run Tracker: Following the Yankees Star’s 2024 Homers


After breaking the American League record with 62 home runs in 2022, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge aims to surpass his own achievement this year.

 

Judge has demonstrated extraordinary performance recently, maintaining a batting average of .383 with 45 home runs and 104 RBIs over 96 games between May 3 and August 25. He made history as the first player in Major League Baseball to record 50 home runs, 120 RBIs, and 100 walks before September.

As of September 2, Judge has hit 51 home runs, marking the third time in his career that he has achieved a 50-homer season at the age of 32.

In baseball history, only two players have recorded multiple seasons with more than 60 home runs: Mark McGwire (1998 and 1999) and Sammy Sosa (1998, 1999, and 2001).
