Aaron Judge Shatters Records and Defies Expectations in Epic Subway Series Showdown
While Bonds hit the most home runs in a season – the controversial 73 in 2001 – Judge’s 62 in 2022 stand as the most in an AL season.
Judge Against All-Time Right-Handed Hitters
A shocking portion of baseball’s inner circle hitters are left-handed, for logical reasons. They get the platoon advantage against most pitchers.
Just last season, Judge posted the best offensive season ever by a right-handed batter, with his 226 OPS+ overtaking the 2022 version of himself, Rogers Hornsby, Mark McGwire and Frank Thomas. I’ll note while we’re at it that Hornsby, whose peak preceded Judge by a century, stood 5-foot-11 and weighed 175 pounds. I’d take Judge in arm wrestling, among other things.
