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.
"The fact that it's come from so many different people, I think that has been the cool thing," manager Aaron Boone said. We've gotten a lot of production from a lot of different people who have had a big hand in that." Judge called the milestone "exciting." "We've got a lot of guys on this team with a lot of thump. They've been doing it all year, especially once we added Voit. He became just the fifth player to hold a share of the AL season record. Nap Lajoie hit 14 in the AL’s first season as a major league in 1901, and Philadelphia Athletics teammate Socks Seabold had 16 the next year, a mark that stood until Babe Ruth hit 29 in 1919. Ruth set the record four times in all, with 54 in 1920, 59 in 1921 and 60 in 1927, a mark that stood until Maris’ 61 in 1961.

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.
These are records of Yankees teams with the best performance in particular statistical categories during a single game. This article is about the statistical records of the New York Yankees. For their season-by-season win–loss records, see List of New York Yankees seasons.
Most home runs on a single day (all teams combined)
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.
However, that wild power surge would be followed by a lull of four games where he hit no home runs. That quiet spell ended when he added to his total and closed in on Roger Maris as he took pitches deep in consecutive games to reach 57 home runs by 142. An impressive number that outpaced Maris by two and Yankees icon Babe Ruth’s 1927 season but five. However, it put him well behind Bonds and McGwire’s 60 that each had through that many games. The Yankees entered the game two homers short of the club record of 267, set last year. Torres’s two-run shot in the second was No. 266, Tauchman went deep with a man on in the fourth and Judge added the record-breaker by leading off the fifth with his 21st of the season.

DJ LeMahieu, Gleyber Torres, Matt Carpenter, Kyle Higashioka and Joey Gallo have all added four home runs apiece, while Jose Trevino and Marwin Gonzalez have contributed three each. Aaron Hicks has ripped two, while Josh Donaldson has hit one. Steinbrenner told Judge his favorite players were Thurman Munson and Willie Randolph, both former captains named by George Steinbrenner. The Yankees have won two of three in the four-game series that wraps up Monday night. The slumping Red Sox announced after the game that they had parted ways with their president of baseball operations, Dave Dombrowski. Bill Mueller is the only player to hit a grand slam from each side of the plate.
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.
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.
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.
Aaron Judge homered during Friday's 11-6 win vs. Boston on Friday, which tied the '97 Mariners - who were led by Ken Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez, Jay Buhner, Paul Sorrento and Edgar Martinez. Giancarlo Stanton hit 38 of the Yankees' MLB record 267 home runs in 2018.
Mark McGwire led the American League in home runs in 1987 and 1996. In 1997, he led Major League Baseball in home runs, but led neither the American nor National League, as his season was split between the Oakland Athletics and St. Louis Cardinals. If that season were to be included, he would be the league leader for five seasons, four of which were in succession. Based on the current numbers and reasonable projections, it’s conceivable New York will have 10 different hitters hit at least 10 home runs this season.

The Yankees are projected by Steamer to hit 247 home runs, which would be the eighth-most for a team ever. The Yankees improved to (.737) and swept the Athletics in three games. New York is now 25-1 when Judge and Stanton go deep in the same game. We have tools and resources that can help you use sports data. New York's record is even more impressive when you consider that Judge missed a month and a half with fractures in his right, while catcher Gary Sanchez was sidelined several weeks due to a groin injury. Without two of their top sluggers, the Yankees managed to break the legendary '97 Mariners' record.
The power-surging Yankees still have one game left to play this month. Several of Judge’s current teammates, including Anthony Rizzo and Nestor Cortes, campaigned for Judge to be named captain during the season, given the leadership he has shown throughout his career. The Yankees won for the fourth time in five games and improved to 94-50, keeping pace with Houston for the top record in the majors. New York also moved a step closer to claiming the American League East title with another victory over the rival Red Sox, whose string of three straight division titles is coming to an end. Griffey was one of nine Mariners to reach double-digit home runs that season. The other players included Jay Buhner , Paul Sorrento , Edgar Martinez , Alex Rodriguez , Russ Davis , Dan Wilson , Jose Cruz and Joey Cora .
