It’s no surprise that Aaron Judge has been on fire this season. Despite a slow start in April, the New York Yankees star has been dominating at the plate, hitting three more home runs over the weekend to bring his total to a league-leading 51 homers. The question on everyone’s mind now is whether Judge can surpass Barry Bonds’ record of 73 home runs in a single season.
In this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, hosts Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman dive into the possibility of Judge breaking Bonds’ record and why it might not be as far-fetched as some believe, given Judge’s performance this year. They also discuss Shohei Ohtani’s impressive feat of joining the 40-40 club, as well as the potential for him to achieve a 50-50 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Additionally, Jake & Jordan recap all the weekend’s baseball action, including Florida’s exciting win over Taiwan in the Little League World Series championship, San Diego Padres rookie Jackson Merrill’s case for NL Rookie of the Year, and the Toronto Blue Jays’ victory over the Los Angeles Angels. They also award their Player of the Weekend and share some heartwarming moments from the baseball world.
