Aaron Judge didn’t rule out the possibility of shattering his American League single-season home run record he just set a season ago when speaking to reporters after the completion of the Yankees first full-squad spring training practice on Monday.
“You never know,” he said on Monday. “I don’t really like putting a number on it. I just kind of like going out there and trying to control what I can control, but you never know what could happen. So, we’ll see about 62.”
Judge surpassed Roger Maris’ record of 61 homers last season and was voted AL MVP, beating out two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani. His record-breaking season led him to cash in on a nine-year, $360 million contract to keep him in the Bronx through the 2031 season.
