But July told a very different and contrasting story for the center fielder and the organization. Despite having his best home run and RBI months of the season, the Yankees started to show signs that their dominance in 2022 was at an end as they started to slump. A lot of this will come down to health since the Yankees won’t have much of a shot to break their own record if Judge or Stanton miss significant time. The duo is projected for a combined 79 home runs — or 32 percent of the team’s total.
After hitting 24 home runs total in 370 career minor league games, 21-year-old rookie Gleyber Torres has hit nine homers alone in May. Giancaro Stanton hit his 38th homer during Saturday's game, and the prized offseason acquisition will finish 2018 as the team leader in dingers. He's one of 12 Yankee players who's registered double-digit home runs in 2018. These are records of Yankees players with the best performance in particular statistical categories during a single season. The 6-foot-7 slugger would hit home runs in the next three games — including a 450-foot bomb — to reach 55 HRs through 136 games. The total had well surpassed his previous career high of 52 that he hit in his sophomore season in 2017, which was also the first year he earned All-Star honors.
Players who have hit at least one home run in 40 stadiums
Mark McGwire hit 70 home runs for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1998 and 65 the following year, and Bonds topped him. Sammy Sosa had 66, 65 and 63 during a four-season span starting in 1998. Harper is projected for 36 home runs, while Machado is projected for 33, so the Yankees certainly could have had a more potent offense with fewer at-bats for Gardner, Tulowitzki or LeMahieu. There’s no doubt they’ll have one of the best power-hitting teams ever, but with a little extra spending this winter, they probably could have had the greatest. We already know that shortstop Didi Gregorius will miss the start of the season due to Tommy John surgery, but former Colorado Rockies DJ LeMahieu and Troy Tulowitzki may be able to pick up some of the slack. Otherwise, most of the hitters are still at or reaching their prime.
Beyond them, both Gary Sanchez and Didi Gregorius have proven themselves capable of pushing homers. In fact, both are on pace for career highs after hitting 33 and 25 respectively last season. We’re all well aware of what Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge are capable of. Stanton hit an MLB-leading 59 home runs last season, while Judge hit an MLB-rookie record of 52.
Full-Season Roster & Games by Position
It was Torres' 24th on the season, as the Yankees picked up their 100th win. The New York Yankees unleashed the fireworks during a weekend series at Fenway by setting an incredible home run record. Mariano Rivera has the most saves, both in his career and a single season, among Yankees pitchers. To make room on the 40-man roster for both players, the D-backs designated catcher Ali Sanchez for assignment. Varsho is the son of former major league outfielder Gary Varsho.
Neither is on the same pace this season , but that actually bodes well for the team’s overall pace. Even if both fall short of last season’s numbers, they figure to cover a big chunk of the team’s total. While there’s not much wiggle room to accommodate an extended team-wide home run slump, this team features enough players capable of going on extended — and even historic — home run tears to offset any such slump. Much of the play-by-play, game results, and transaction information both shown and used to create certain data sets was obtained free of charge from and is copyrighted by RetroSheet. Baseball-Reference.com credits Rivera with 952 games finished.
Team all-time records
These are records of players with the best performance in particular statistical categories during their career with the Yankees. Judge hit 52 homers with 114 RBIs the following year and was a unanimous winner of the AL Rookie of the Year award. Injuries limited him during the following three seasons, and he rebounded to hit 39 homers with 98 RBIs in 2021. Maris’ mark has been exceeded six times, but all have been tainted by the stench of steroids.
Moreno and Gurriel are both right-handed hitters, which allows the D-backs to balance their left-handed heavy lineup. That “distinctive mark” became known as an “asterisk” and it remained until Sept. 4, 1991, when a committee on statistical accuracy chaired by Commissioner Fay Vincent voted unanimously to recognize Maris as the record holder. Judge had gone seven games without a home run – his longest drought this season was nine in mid-August. This was the Yankees’ 155th game of the season, leaving them seven more in the regular season. Barry Bonds holds the big league record of 73 for the San Francisco Giants in 2001. Now projections tend to be on the conservative side, especially Steamer, but there’s also plenty of wiggle room.
Last season, the Yankees were projected for 250 bombs and tallied an extra 17 homers in real life. Judge, MLB’s home run leader, has led the June onslaught with 11 home runs this month. Anthony Rizzo is second on the Yankees with nine, while Stanton now has eight.
The New York Yankees' power prowess has tied the two-decades-old major league record for the most home runs by a team in a season. The win also clinched the right to host the American League wild-card game on Wednesday against Oakland, with the winner advancing to face the Red Sox in the Division Series next Friday in Boston. Led by Giancarlo Stanton's 37 homers, the Yankees have 12 players in double digits, with six of those players having at least 23. Judge, Aaron Hicks, Miguel Andujar and Didi Gregorius are all tied for second on the team with 27.
It is an amount only five other players in baseball history have ever reached and took him to within one homer of the Yankees team record. This is a list of some of the records relating to home runs hit in baseball games played in the Major Leagues. Some Major League records are sufficiently notable to have their own page, for example the single-season home run record, the progression of the lifetime home run record, and the members of the 500 home run club. A few other records are kept on separate pages, they are listed below. New York’s record-setting season last year was even more impressive when considering how much time its best power hitters missed. Judge’s broken wrist sidelined him for two months, while Gary Sanchez had two injury list stints due to groin injuries and was not especially effective when he was playing.
On Sept. 18, Judge would close in on the magical 60 when he hit home runs 58 and 59 on the same night where he also knocked in four RBIs. However, the former first-round pick topped that with what would be his second-best home run month of the seeing when he sent a dozen opposing pitches over the bleachers in May. Not only did he do that, but he also drove in 25 runs and helped to push the Yankees into first place. With Judge now at the top of the AL record books, let’s take a look at the All-Star’s historic run to 62 home runs during the 2022 season. After Sunday’s spring training game in which former Rookie of the Year Aaron Judge and veteran Brett Gardner each went deep twice, the two outfielders told reporters that they would top 2018’s mark of 267 bombs.
Judge is hitting .313 with 130 RBIs, also the top totals in the AL. He has a chance to become the first AL Triple Crown winner since Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera in 2012. TORONTO — Aaron Judge tied Roger Maris’ American League record of 61 home runs in a season, hitting a tiebreaking, two-run drive for the New York Yankees in the seventh inning against the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night. That would be Judge’s final home run of the season and while he is the single-season king for dingers in the AL, Judge is only seventh on the all-time list for both leagues. Finish behind the likes of the aforementioned Bonds, St. Louis Carindals great Mark McGwire, and Chicago Cubs legend Sammy Sosa. Aaron Judge is two games ahead of Roger Maris' AL record pace of 61 homers.
The only starter older than 29 is Gardner , who only hit 12 homers last year after reaching a career-high 21 in 2017. It can be tempting to prorate how many more home runs those players would have hit if healthy and add it to last year’s total, although things aren’t quite that simple. Gleyber Torres, Mike Tauchman, Aaron Judge each homered to set a new mark with 18 games remaining. Delahanty and Horner are the only players to hit four home runs in a game as a part of a losing effort. The 1956 New York Yankees set an American League record for home runs hit against the same team during the same season when they slugged forty-eight versus the 1956 Kansas City Athletics.
The Yankees are chasing the 1997 Seattle Mariners team, which combined to hit 264 home runs over 162 games. Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. led the way with 56 home runs, which at the time was the seventh highest individual home run total in a single season. BOSTON — The Yankees set the franchise record for home runs in a single season on Sunday night and still have 18 games to go.
So far, New York’s offense has managed to surpass the massive hype by starting the season on a record-breaking home run pace. Now we’re left to wonder what heights they can realistically reach. When the New York Yankees added Giancarlo Stanton to their lineup in an offseason trade with the Miami Marlins, the rest of baseball collectively cringed. An already loaded offense had just added on the National League’s leading home run hitter, which positioned the Yankees to be a homer-hitting juggernaut in 2018 and beyond. The 2018 Yankees' record is just one of many that has either been toppled or will be over the remainder of the year. An altered baseball that has proven to be more aerodynamic than past iterations.
