The 2023 season of MLB has turned out to be the continuation of the best moment in the career of Aaron Judge with the New York Yankeesafter in 2022 he established a record of 62 home runs, the maximum in the history of the american leaguewhich he is poised to match, or possibly surpass, this season.
In the second game of the series between the Bronx Bombers and Seattle Mariners, the ‘Judge’ lifted everyone up with his 18th home run of the season, which has totaled 46 games so far. This matches what was registered by the outfielder last year, since he wore the same numbers in the same number of games.
Judge on track to repeat record
Judge deepened to left-center leading off the seventh against reliever Darren McCaughanwho was called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday and has received the verdict of the MVP of the young circuit during the 2022 campaign, who now leads as the highest home run hitter in his league.
With his third homer in two games, Judge has been instrumental not only in beating the Mariners in consecutive games, but also in beginning to climb positions in the American League East, having the best record with seven wins and 10 losses in the last 10 games, with only 5 disadvantage compared to Tampa Bay Raysindustry leaders.

A relationship with ups and downs
While it’s all hunky-dory with Aaron Judge and the Yankees now, there was a time, especially in the negotiations leading up to the 9-year, $360 million deal, when it was unknown whether their paths would stay together.
Even during the 2023 season, the 2022 AL home run leader let out his anger over being demoted to the 10-day list because of a soreness to his right hip.
“I’m still not happy with it. I want to play again soon. Hitting feels great. Throwing, I feel the pain a bit,” was what Judge said, who during his career has struggled a lot with injuries, for which the leadership decided to take charge, in something that the player considered “exaggerated.”
