Aaron Judge took the term “no-doubter” to another level Wednesday night.
The New York Yankees outfielder is known for his incredible power — his 37 home runs are second in Major League Baseball and first in the American League — but he hit a dinger in the fourth inning against the New York Mets that was impressive even by his standards. Judge’s solo bomb traveled 457 feet, landed in the third deck at Citi Field and left the park so quickly that Mets left fielder Yoenis Cespedes didn’t even move a muscle.
And here’s a photo of where it landed, to put things in perspective.
Judge went 2-for-5 with two runs and an RBI, and the Yankees came away with the 5-3 win. However, the 25-year-old also struck out for the 33rd consecutive game, which tops all non-pitchers as the single-season record.
