It seems that a monster is indeed a monster. Aaron Judge (New York Yankees), who set the American League home run record last year, has broken another one.

Jersey started in right field and batted second in the lineup against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas, on Sunday (Feb. 2), going 2-for-4 with a home run, one RBI and two runs scored in a 6-2 victory.스포츠토토

Judge made history last year when he arched 62 home runs, the most by a player without a PED test. The 62 home runs were an American League record for a single season and the most by a “clean hitter” in all of Major League Baseball. It was also the most by a “clean hitter” in a single season in the majors.

Judge was a “hot commodity” for Stovrig, receiving offers from numerous teams after the 2022 season. But he chose to stay with the Yankees. He signed a massive nine-year, $360 million contract with the Yankees, and was named captain of the Yankees, joining “legend” Derek Jeter.

Judge has had a great start to the season. He carried over the momentum from last season, leading the major leagues in home runs this year and cruising to his second straight MVP and home run title. But there was an unexpected twist. In a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, he caught a home run off J.D. Martinez that crashed into the right field fence, injuring his toe in the process.

This inevitably led to a lengthy absence from the field, and he lost the major league home run lead to Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Angels). Since then, the Yankees have been in an extreme slump without the “gunslinger”. At this rate, they are in danger of finishing in last place in the American League East for the first time in 33 years, since 1990.

Jersey’s return from injury has been an on-again, off-again affair as he struggles to find his old batting touch, but he did manage to create one record. With the bases loaded and no outs in the top of the fifth inning with his team leading 5-2, Judge pulled a $43.3 million slider from Justin Verlander for a solo home run over the left field fence. The ball traveled 110.5 miles per hour (177.8 kilometers per hour), so you could almost feel it leave the bat and head for the fence.

It was Judge’s 30th home run of the season and his 250th career home run. Prior to Jersey, the record for 250 home runs in the fewest games was held by Ryan Howard (former Philadelphia Phillies, 382 career home runs) in 855 games. But when he arched his 250th in 810 games, he surpassed Howard’s record by a whopping 45 games, cementing his place in history as the first man to hit 250 home runs in at least 250 games in the major leagues.

Jersey was batting close to .300 prior to his injury, and while his numbers have been extremely up and down since his return, the “power” is still there. Since returning to the big leagues, he’s hit a whopping 11 arches. While he lacks finesse, he’s quickly piling up the home runs to make up for his nearly month-long absence.
