I personally think it did about right, the thing is, this AL record by Judge will be beat.
Almost every hitter is worried about launch angle and would gladly bat around .220 if they are hitting 40 home runs...rather than hit .300 with 20 home runs. Evidenced by what was it a whopping 10 guys hit .300 or better last season (vs. 36 in 2002)......and there is no line drive contest at the All Star Break.
Go watch any MLB team BP before a game, all they are trying for is to put it in the seats. I was trained to take the pitchers head off. Line drives up the middle if you got your pitch.
So it's the current AL record......it will be surpassed multiple times in the next 10-15 years.
Book it!
