Unbelievable Rookie Power Surge: Who Shattered MLB's Home Run Record in Their First Year?

2. 52 – Aaron Judge, New York Yankees (2017)

With his 52 homers in 2017, Judge became the first player in MLB history with at least 50 in their rookie season. And like Alonso, Judge crushed 30 homers prior to the All-Star break and would go on to win the Home Run Derby. The Rookie of the Year slowed down his production over the second half of the season but caught fire with 15 round-trippers in September. While he recorded the most strikeouts by a rookie (208), Judge simultaneously set the highest walk mark (208) and finished the season hitting a homer every 10 at-bats.
