Aaron Judge Home Run Pace 2023

Aaron Judge home run pace 2023 has been slow compared to his previous season. Last season he was hitting homers at a rate of one in 2.53 games, whereas this season, it has decreased to 3.10.

According to ESPN, he is projected to hit 41 homers this season, considering his performance till now. However, this projection is based on the assumption that he will play 125 matches.

Last season, the center fielder missed only five regular season games, but he has already missed ten full days due to a hip injury. So, it is hard to tell how many games he will play.

Even if Judge can maintain his 2022 pace from now on to the end of the season, he might finish with 45 dingers. If the player can remain injury free till the end of the season, he will probably finish somewhere between 40 to 50 dingers.
