Without Aaron Judge in the lineup, the Yankees spent the majority of June struggling to score runs consistently. It’s not that they don’t have players who can’t produce, though — they just went ice cold. But when those other high-priced players do get hot, the ball goes a long way. That’s evidenced by the longest Yankees home runs of 2023.
The below list is filled with usual suspects. Judge has found his way on there more than once. Giancarlo Stanton appears three times so far, and he’s made the most of his opportunities. Even though his hitting a homer has typically meant a loss at the end of the day, Josh Donaldson has also made his presence felt.
That leaves room for some other guys. One you’re probably not surprised to see, and a couple you wouldn’t have expected prior to Opening Day.
