Aaron Judge is building the most impressive force in MLB history one of the seasons. Although he may not be able to match Barry Bonds’ major league record 46 home runs, more realistic goals in sight, are approaching AL record) by Roger Maris holds.
its will be close. it) it will be fun to watch.
But this is not
Just about that potential record home run, eh? Every explosion along the way is meaningful, whether it’s 46 (his career high), or 39 (this will set the American League record for a right-handed hitter), or 60 or61 (obviously). Or really anyone else along the way, because just say you’re there to watch – or catch – Do not. 33 or none. 46 or none. 33 is a cool thing to be on the way to history.
This is really an interesting thing. If you’re going to watch Judge’s home run chase in person, where do you want to capture history?
Of course we don’t know exactly when the judge where he hits, but he has home runs left. But we do know where he will be because we have the rest of the timeline. We know exactly his past home runs. None of this guarantees where any of his home runs might land. But looking back may only help you look forward.

Where do judges generally hit home runs? )
While many power hitters prefer to pull the field – note, for example, Nolan Arenadola every first This year’s home run — Judge is an equal-opportunity troublemaker. Indeed, it speaks to his amazing strength; he’s so strong that he doesn’t need to reach his pull power to get it out.
That is41% Pull,18% directly, and 20% oppo, if you are interested in the details (as of August 18).
in all at least
home run sine e 162, when Judge played his first full season, only two players had a higher percentage of home runs. He’s hitting slightly more home runs this year — closer to half — but for the most part, he’s spraying those little balls all over the place. This makes for an interesting spray chart; this may make it harder for you to know where to stick the ball.
You might also think that because Judge homered so hard— exist100.1 mph, 3rd among those with HOME RUN – HEs probably cleared a lot of fences. In most cases, !it is true. As of August 11, 73 The batter has This year’s home run, the judges average clearing the fence
foot. Thats actually only most times because other batters can call Coors Field and Fenway Park home, but it also means sitting in the front row may not be the most Good choice.
Let’s see what he will do in the rest Play every park and see how he is s sprayed the stands there – if he had any.
September 5th at Yankee Stadium -; 11-10; September14-October. 2
)
Has the judge ever hit a home run before? Well, yes, once or twice. (116 Second-rate.)
• Yankee Stadium Tickets
Certainly no stranger to bases rounded in home pinstripes , Judge’s relatively evenly aligned spray chart is a good reminder that, despite the short porch on the right for home runs, he often barely needs it. At home, he was pulled 33% His home run…and went to the opposite field
% of his home runs. Never, never, let anyone tell you hes “Product of Short Gallery”. (While there can be “cheap” home runs out there, it’s fair to say the park is relatively neutral overall.)
The only difference, really, is that the one on the left goes further, on average 236 feet instead of right foot.
) where should you be? part139 on the left, but the closer part 99on the right. Just make sure you see it there.
September at Fenway Park –
Has Judge ever hit a home run before? Yes. eight times.
• Fenway Park Tickets
The eight included a pair of playoff home runs, but of course sitting in the outfield at Fenway Park has a trick of having 374 on the seat of the green monster, there are no other seats on the left until You arrive at the small part of the center field. The monster is an attractive target, but it’s also a very narrow real estate strip that could end up being just the best vantage point for a ball to fly over Monster, don’t get into the seat.
where should you be? Maybe Lansdowne Street, but if you want to be in the park, you can do better than the lower part of the section 28 on the right field, just behind the bullpen.
In the American Home Field, Sept. –
Has Judge ever hit a home run there before?
He never played there.
• American Family Field Ticket
Yankees since
Haven’t been to Milwaukee since . For the right hitter, it’s an excellent home run park, similar to Coors Field, which ranks sixth in the Statcast park factor. There are plenty of targets to target in the outfield — imagine him sliding down Bernie’s slide — but relatively few sittings.
) where should you be? Given the lack of seating in the outfield, your best bet may be to post above the left-out bison shed at Miller Lite Landing and get your footing.
in six home games against the Pirates and Red Sox After the game, it faced the Blue Jays on the north boundary.
September at Rogers Centre
– 26
Has any judge ever hit a home run there before? Yes. Second-rate.
• Rogers Center Ticket
Another solid homer park for right-handers – we’re getting a theme here – Toronto’s Rogers Center is third on Judge’s personal homer list, Second only to his home park and Camden Field in Baltimore. The spray chart here looks…well, a lot like his career home run chart. He’s an all-field baseball masher.
Not like some of the others we visited The park, we can say there isn’t a ton of outfield seating there so the options are limited, which is not true. This100 The video board below the level surrounds the field without interruption. For most of the left and right fields on either side of the video board, there are four levels of seating. There’s plenty of outfield seating here – we haven’t counted the views from the hotel or Sportsnet Grill.
There is no right answer here, only wrong answers . You may remember May 3, when the judges homered No. 9 into left field, one of the most heartwarming moments of the year when a Blue Jays fan picked up the ball and threw it The boy handed the Judge’s No. 9 jersey. 52 The jersey immediately burst into tears. Who are we to say magic can’t happen twice?
Where should you be: Section 116. Give the ball to the child.
The Yankees then return home for their last home of the year , a three-game snap against the Orioles starting in September 26 through October 2, before closing in Texas He played four games in three days.
October 3-5 at Globe Life Field
Has the judge ever hit a home run before? No. (He had five runs at the previous Texas ballpark.)
• Globe Life Field Ticket
That’s right, four games in three days, because Tuesday, October 4th is doubles. It’s hard to imagine that at this point, the division is likely to be in control and the judges will really be playing two games in the outfield, or not at all. However, DH is an option that Aaron Boone chose to take advantage of, if recorded.
He only played there four times last season, Not a single home run. It’s hard to tell what this park is because 2020 Just the second full season there. in 2020 shortened seasons, and like Like the playoffs that year, it looked like an absolute cave, a pitcher’s paradise. Last year as well, but in 374 , at least for right-handers it’s easier to dig a little deeper. (Somehow good for lefties.)
The new Globe Life has plenty of outfield seating, giving us Toronto-style problems. Let’s throw darts in left midfield here.
where you should be:
section 99 than Section A little further away 18 is – just below it – but it also hangs on its close relatives. If you want to catch the ball, don’t sit in the area under the overhang. Sitting section 61. Sitting four games in three days.
