Aaron Judge has shown practically no signs of stopping as he continues to hit mammoth home runs for the New York Yankees, who will have to back up the Brinks truck if they want to re-sign him in the offseason.
For now, they’re enjoying the home runs, as we all are. But here’s the question: How many is he on pace for?
Let’s do some math: He’s hit 37 in 94 games. Expand that out to 162 games — while noting to take this with a large grain of salt since he probably won’t end up playing that many — and you get …
63.7 home runs! (Let’s call it 64!).
Aaron Judge, obliterator of homer 💥
Not even the revamped left field of Camden Yards can contain this baseball.

A reminder that this would break Roger Maris’s Yankees record and, if he hits 64, would tie Sammy Sosa for fifth-most in a season.
