________________________________________________
In the baseball world, 2022 was The Year of Aaron Judge. It was the year of Aaron Judge MVP and Aaron Judge 62 homers. After all, the Aaron Judge home run record, at least for the American League, is one of the game’s greatest accomplishments in recent years. This past season necessitated the signing of a record-breaking Aaron Judge contract, as the Yankees sought to retain his services after some hard fought Aaron Judge negotiations. But that’s what you get when you have the greatest MLB season since Barry Bonds.
The Year of Judge did not end with a New York Yankees World Series or Aaron Judge Triple Crown. The Astros and Luis Arraez put a stop to that. But it will still be remembered for the moment Judge breaks Maris record. Just please ignore everything Roger Maris Jr. has said since the record fell. Of course, 62 was just one of the Aaron Judge 2022 highlights. In this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, I point out the Aaron Judge walkoff vs the Blue Jays as a pivotal moment. I also make sure to respect the Aaron Judge defense in centerfield.

ORDER IN THE COURT
Judge: Please be seated
Your honor. I have spoken with my client and we request to proceed with the hearing and all charges brought against Cashmen and the Yankees.
Nasty
@@FoolishBaseball batting order, that is
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.
Plenty of good storylines
what do you mean it almost didn’t happen? (i’m a casual baseball fan)
@@johnpayne7096 the was a strike that threatened the start of the season
Miguel Cabrera reached 3000 hits as well. 2022 was a very exciting year
Almost didnt happen is a stretch but agree it was one of the best seasons to watch as far as all around baseball
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
@@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
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.
Nice to see that Mr. Foolish Baseball prides himself and thinks of himself as a man of faith, truly honorable

Something I found interesting about this year is that while all of this was going on with Judge stateside, Munetaka Murakami was having an eerily similar dominant season in Japan. While playing for Tokyo's Yakult Swallows (the Mets of Japan, basically), Murakami also set the record for homeruns hit by a Japanese player in a season (56). Similar to Maris' American League record, this isn't the NPB's overall season homerun record (belonging to Curaçaoan Wladimir Balentien with 60), but it was a uniquely prestigious record previously held by the Babe Ruth of Japan Sadaharu Oh. Here's Judge's and Murakami's slash lines for the season.
Judge: .311/.425/.686, with 62 homeruns, 131 RBI, along with 111 walks and 175 strikeouts.
Murakami: .318/.458/.711, with 56 homeruns, 134 RBI, along with 118 walks and 128 strikeouts.
It blows my mind that not only did these two incredible seasons happen in the same year, but that they both happened in the major media mega markets for both leagues. Both seasons also resulted in MVP awards for both men, while also ending in heartbreak as neither managed to win their respective world/Japan series titles. While Judge is 30 and can hopefully keep this pace up for a few more years, Murakami is only 22, and the idea that he could still develop into an even more patient power hitter should scare not only Japan's current pitchers league wide, but also prospective MLB pitchers when he arrives in the states in a few years.
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.
You are easily choked
That is, I don't get the reference
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. 😏
Silly Bailey! You misspelled Arson Judge in the title!
Giants Legend
7:27 I laughed so hard at that Roger Maris Jr joke. Phenomenal
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
Agree.

hey wait a minute this isn’t Tesla live
Thank you for delivering the Brett Gardner Baseball Bits we’ve all been waiting for 🙏🏼
Yankees from 119-43 to 99-63
it's always an amazing day when we're blessed with a new Foolish Baseball vid
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.
Nice of MLB to provide juiced baseballs for Yankee games. Big fat * next to this "record".
@@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.
@@Esteemph so why didn't anyone else on the yankees hit well?
I love all the non-featured players on the charts too. I had no idea Nico Hoerner crushed sliders.
out of everything the "war-total" got me, amazing vid as always
15:12 Glad to see Adam Wainwright's offensive value listed amongst actual hitters.
He never gets talked about in Zack Greinke or Jacob deGrom territory, but he was decent with his bat throughout his career.
Oh we DEFINITELY need a video about the baseballs used
You earned your money with that Wartortle cameo alone!
Missed a golden opportunity to show a Nick Castellanos homer during your italiphobic apology 😂
I was really hoping that was going to happen too
so crazy that adam wainwright is on that last graph considering that graph is only for hitting and defense
The Yankee slugger most likely to hike up a mountain in search of enlightenment in 2022 was CLEARLY Matt Carpenter.
It's frankly absurd how little I care about baseball as a whole and yet I always watch Foolish's videos minutes after they're released.
good content is good content, doesn't matter what it's about
That means a lot, thanks!
@@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!
I agree with your absurdity assessment
Killed me with the Wartortle. Killer video.
ill give judge credit he hit those bouncy balls far
I’m feeling terrible but I know this’ll help me, thanks FB hope you had a wonderful holidays and a great new year!
Sorry to hear that. Happy holidays!
He’s back!
bigger than ever. girthier.
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.
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.
As a Yankee fan, agreed.
WAR Total is not only a good way to measure a player's success, it's also a top-tier Pokemon.
All Rise for the juiced baseballs
They weren't

You deserve every Patron, and honestly more. Kinda surprised that wasn't higher, but I'm sure it will continue to rise. As always, absolutely love the content.

As a jays fan i am dying on the floor right now💀💀💀💀💀😩💀💀💀💀💀
I've been binging all your old videos over the past week or so. It's awesome to have something new.
"Set by Roger Maris Jr's dad"🤣
so glad he finally got the contract he deserved.
as a man from new york, i mean that
as a man from georgia, i wish i had 360 million dollars
As another man from georgia, having 360 million dollars would be rather cool, along with a Hank Aaron Baseball Bits
These videos make my day a thousand times better, thank you bailey!
I thought it'd be a while till we got this video, love that it's out so soon and done so well.
All rise…here comes Foolish Baseball he’s BAAAAACK
I love how those Goldilocks balls are overlooked 😂
I love how someone's performance in a year can be spectacular and that just makes what Bonds did even more impressive.
Earlier this year I did not know anything about baseball. After watching your videos I understand everything. Thank you so much ❤
As an Italian, that’s literally how we speak, and all our surnames are food names, so no Italophobia there
Seeing Adam Wainwright top 5 hitter rWAR after age-31 season is CRAZY
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.
thanks!
@@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.
Best CZcams present of this holiday season. Thanks for the video, FB!
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.
Crazy how hard Judge carried the Yankees in the second half
Great vid as always, Bailey. Thanks for being so consistently great.
A baseball bit on my birthday? Yea this is a good day
Congrats on getting it uploaded
That was the real battle. Making the video was easy.
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 recognize the superior quality of his character.
I suppose he's a good baseball player as well
You love to see Foolish Baseball back again!!!!
being an italiphobe in a yankees vid, bailey will never recover from this
Foolish are you going to make a”goldilocks ball” video soon, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
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
Comeback youtuber of the year
Thanks for the heads up on Romano.
We need the video about the 3 types of baseballs!! Crazy stuff
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!
I wanted Tesla 😞
LMAO
Great video as always Bailey!
Yo foolish, I got to say you make amazing quality content. It’s super informative and hilarious 😂🙌🏼
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?
I can't believe Roger Maris Jr's dad doesn't hold the AL home run record anymore....what a shame.
10:03 as there's a deep ball by Castellanos, and that'll make it a 4-3 ballgame
After a certain point, talent transcends team; anything so spectacular and optimal with such style.. _you just love, and have, to see it._
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.
They also gave judge those Goldilock baseballs
My son is 2 and we've been to one game (for obvious reasons). He saw a Judge homer. And I'm glad he'll get to see many more.
Glad you're back!
no mention of arson judge, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined /s
excellent video
I'm a massive Dodgers fan and probably a Yankee hater but that 62 HR gives me chills everytime. I'm glad we all got to witness history
Idk if it’s the music or the format or the good info but I always love the start of these videos and enjoy watching them through and through
Incredible as always
Where’d my Elon Musk content go
The balls used for Yankees games were juiced so it judges season means nothing
Amazing video as always
Thank you for the video, Mr. Baseball
I'm a giants fan pain rn. He would have been so perfect back home in the bay.
he was born to be a yankee
You removed Aaron Judge’s teeth gap from your pixel art and I will never forgive you for this infraction.
Delighted to see you recover your account; welcome back.
This is great analysis on Judge
If Aaron Judge is so good, why isn’t there an Aaron Judge 2?
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
Does Arson Judge count?
The amount of heart attacks I have sustained from this man is frightening. Could not be more happy that he is a Yankee for life however.
thanks!
I started following you a couple years ago in preparation for this specific video
Great video! Made me laugh as always and was informative! I will never get over Brett Gardner having 29 home runs in 2019 and Judge only having 28.
This was the best offensive season a player has had since 2001-2004 Barry Bonds. Judge was on an entirely different level in 2022.
Agreed!
62 home runs in the regular season, and capped it off by hitting .0625 in the ALCS against the Astros, what an incredible season!
Some of y’all have the memory of a goldfish, acting like the regular season didn’t happen
Awesome as always!
Love the late Christmas present. Happy Holidays Bailey!
Noooo where's Elon 😢😢😢

Played for 11 years, been umpiring for the last 3. Nothing makes me appreciate the game like a Foolish Baseball video!
Considering many different factors, this may have been the greatest home run-hitting season of all-time.
It's up there for sure, though Ruth would crush any league-adjusted HomeRun+ leaderboard for obvious reasons.
Na it’s Bonds 73
