New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge took Major League Baseball by storm in 2022, and he is just getting started.

Judge did not shy away from the spotlight on Monday when asked if he could produce an encore. 

"We’ll see. We’ll see," Judge said with a smile when asked if he will hit 62 or more home runs in 2023. 

"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."

The 2022 season was a fascinating one for Judge – who bet on himself when he turned down an extension in the offseason – earning a massive contract with an incredible year.

"Last year was fun chasing history and having those moments," Judge said, according to ESPN. "Every time we play in New York I feel like you're chasing history. It's never a cakewalk in the Bronx, that's for sure.
