In April 2022 before seeing the first of his 2,906 pitches, Aaron Judge spent time addressing the fact he and the Yankees could not agree to a new contract heading into his walk year, giving him the title of the most talked about pending free agent for that season. It turned out to be a record-setting season with Judge slugging 62 homers to break the AL-record set by Roger Maris and creating a series of live cut-ins on television even on college football Saturdays.

NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge homered in his first at-bat, Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered twice and the New York Yankees went deep four more times in a 12-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, a day after becoming the third team in major league history to hit nine homers in a game. The Yankees hit a total of 15 homers and scored 36 runs as they swept the three-game series.
