Yankees slugger Aaron Judge finished off a historic 2022 season this week. His final act prior to the MLB postseason was hitting his 62nd homer to pass Roger Maris and set a new American League record. Being at the top of offensive leaderboards is a familiar feeling for the outfielder this year, but he didn’t get to the top of every single one.
Judge finished with a .311 batting average, which ultimately denied him a chance at securing the triple crown. The AL batting title belongs to Luis Arraez of the Minnesota Twins.
