' captain took Colorado Rockies southpaw Austin Gomber deep in the first inning on Sunday, Judge secured his third season of 50 home runs or more. In the process, he joined a club that had only four members before his arrival.Before Judge, only four players in MLB history had three seasons with 50 or more home runs; those players were Babe Ruth , Mark McGwire , Sammy Sosa and Alex Rodriguez .
Prior to the 2024 season, Judge had a pair of campaigns with 50+ homers. The first was 2017, when he broke McGwire's rookie record with 52 home runs . The second, of course, was his famous 2022 season, which saw Judge break the franchise and American League single-season record with 62 big flies; incredibly, Judge is on pace to match or even surpass that total.Judge said this despite having a ridiculous .384/.511/.857 slash line, 43 home runs, 101 RBI, and a 268 wRC+ from May 4 to August 23.
