New York Yankees star Aaron Judge stole the show in 2022, setting the American League record for home runs in a single season with 62. 

Judge passed Roger Maris on Oct. 4, 2022, 61 years after Maris broke Babe Ruth’s AL single-season record.

Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani entered Wednesday night’s game against the Yankees with a league-leading 35 home runs, on pace to finish the season with 60. 

Judge would be perfectly fine if Ohtani got even hotter in MLB’s second half, taking the AL home record away from the Yankees star. 

"Records are meant to be broken, It would be exciting for the game if he went out there and got 63-plus. So, we’ll see what happens," Judge said Wednesday before the Yankees lost to the Angels. 

Ohtani had a torrid month of June, launching 15 home runs and hitting .394 at the plate while posting a 3.26 ERA on the mound.
