Between Judge breaking Maris’ record, Pujols going off in his final season like it was the mid 2000s again, the Mariners making the playoffs for the first time in 21 years, and one of the most unpredictable playoffs of all time (at least on the NL side), the 2022 MLB season might go down as one of the best ever. Crazy that it almost didn’t happen too.
@@user-au2296elt had 29 in 2021, Posey maxed out with 24 in his MVP, Crawford also 24 and also in 2021 There’s also a couple of Hunter Pence 20+ seasons, an Aubrey Huff, a pair of Pedro Feliz, and even Ray Durham
I know you've talked about the pitching win in the Hutchison/deGrom video and the Felix Hernandez video, but as a Phillies fan I'd love to here you detail Steve Carlton's 1972. His 27 wins on a team that won 59 games total is still hard to wrap my head around and it'd be really cool to see a video that goes into detail about how the hell it happened
This really helped put Judge’s season in serious perspective. “Post Bonds” offense really does have to be contextualized… especially as someone who grew up watching those seasons from 2001-2004. Judge etched himself into one of the greatest offensive seasons EVER… and when you’re a Yankee… that means that season is up there with the Mantles, Ruth and Gehrig seasons. Pretty incredible if you ask me.
@@bitterbob30 Ya, I was gonna say now the balls are juiced instead of the players. Interesting the yankees specifically were found to get juiced balls more often.
Come on man: "He crushed more sliders than Vogelbach at Crystal". You can't be dropping lines like that in the middle of my dinner. I nearly choked to death.
Sliders being small hamburgers as well as a type of pitch. And Mr Vogelbach being a gentleman of ample proportions, and one would assume, appetite. If you need a visual reference, might I suggest you search for Joey Chestnut's hotdog record. 😏
2 years later, and he's having an even better season. On pace to match in homers with more RBI, Walks, Doubles, higher average, OBP, Slugging, OPS, OPS+, wRC+, ISO, bWAR and fWAR than in 2022. Over the past two months (51 games), he has batted .376 with 24 HR, 17 Doubles and drove in runners at a 1.18 RBI/game rate.
@@standepainit’s braindead because MLB has the strictest steroid testing in sports. So, you’re accusing someone of taking PEDs when he’s passed at least a dozen drug tests in his major league career. Question answered?
As a Yankees fan, thank you Bailey. Watching this season was pretty spectacular and I’m very grateful. Thank you for illustrating our sport in such a fresh, entertaining, and informing way with your videos. Truly grateful.
I was at the game in Milwaukee where he hit No. 58 & 59. This man could have legitimately hit 5 homeruns that day if he got the tiniest bit of lift on some of those other balls in play. I have never seen a baseball get torched that consistently EVER in a game. I’ve seen Mike Stanton and Ryan Braun, Adam Dunn, Prince Fielder and more guys hit nukes over the years but nothing like Aaron Judge on that day in Milwaukee, summer of ‘22.
I just want you to know that I haven't watched baseball in 20 years, or since I was 12 years old. I'm just a sucker for sports stories from good storytellers. I've been subbed for awhile and happy to have new content. Thank you for the great stories! I'm sure all the animation/stats/writing is a ton of work. I hope you know it's very appreciated. You are the reason I look for baseball on TV when I stay in hotels.
@@FoolishBaseball I just googled to figure out why people were making the crypto jokes. That's crazy! Happy you are back. Hopefully everything pans out ok for you and your channel.

@@FoolishBaseball keep making great content! I might never come to love baseball, but I'll always enjoy seeing the little bits of it through the lens you show them through!
110+ games into 2024, it seems like he’s doing it again and quite possibly might end this season with an even higher OPS+/wRC+. Maybe 2022 wasn’t his 95th percentile season but something more like 90, and this is his 95th percentile we’re watching now?
I remember seeing something, years ago, when Keith Hernandez went to the Mets. His numbers had fallen off from his elite days but with the Mets he made some adjustments and became a steady .300+ hitter again. Apparently a fan had noticed that when he was hitting better he rotated his body in his stance more. In his elite years in St. Louis you could read his jersey number from the centerfield cam. He made that tiny adjustment and hit .306, .311, .309 and .310 over the next 4 seasons.
2016-2017 Judge was the player for me growing up who made me love baseball and the Yankees, and you’re Channel has changed how I viewed the game so to see this combined really made my day, Thank you Mr. Foolish!
As a Yankee fan, I'm so happy people outside of the fanbase recognize how freakin' amazing Aaron is. Judge is a Baseball God. If Hercules played stick ball....
I’m just excited to see who’s year it will be next year! Shohei has been everything he was promised to be the past 2…can he do another year in that duel role and put up the numbers he did?
Bit of a late comment, but you should do a video on how identical Ken Griffey Jr's. 1997 and 1998 seasons were. It's almost a statistical imossibility. He even had the same number of walks and strikeouts.
i really wish you or someone would do a video on hank aaron and how great and consistent he was...... he only won 1 mvp in his career yet hit 755 homeruns. He only struck out more than 65 times like 3 or 4 times in his career. 3700 career hits i mean he is undoubtedly the ideal consistent power hitter that honestly may never be seen again there was essentially no dip or fall off just consistent excellence and baseball fans need to be reminded of how legendary a hitter he was
It's insane that this is the only comment I could find that mentions this when it's very possible that Judge's season was completely manufactured by MLB.
@@Toeknee994L His INSANE 2nd half pace in July/August could have been helped by it, but he still had 33 home runs at the break so still an impressive season. I think it seems more likely they used more for Pujols and him going for 700 because that number is a lot more impressive than just 62 in a season and more recognizable
Watching this again on August 22nd, 2024… Judge has 48 home runs with 34 games left in the season… he’s also slugging .720 atm. I predict you will be making a sequel to this video. Title suggestion- “The Year of Judge…again”
ALWAYS an insta-click when a new Foolish Baseball video pops up. I don't watch, follow, or really even care about baseball and I honestly have no clue how or when I stumbled across this channel... But I love his videos and his obvious passion for the game.
They're waiting a decade or so, then there will be a prestige sequel ala the most recent Matrix movie. Though if Spencer Jones is actually what he looks like, we might have the sequel in theaters while the original is still being shown. Lol

@@FoolishBaseball batting order, that is
The fact that the giants haven't had a 30 home run hitter since 2004 is insane
Is that true?
Right? I could’ve sworn someone like Crawford or Posey had hit at least 30 one time

he said "since Bonds retired". Thats 2009
San Fran's ballpark is one of the hardest to hit HRs in, maybe THE hardest. Especially for lefties even though roided up Bonds made it look easy.
