Aaron Judge continued his torrid pace on Tuesday night, crushing a 469-foot home run in the first inning against the Kansas City Royals. The massive shot nearly left Kauffman Stadium, landing just shy of the Royals Hall of Fame’s roof.
Home Run Highlights
- Judge took a 2-0 fastball from rookie left-hander Noah Cameron and sent it down the line toward the foul pole.
- The ball was tracked as one of the sixth-farthest homers at Kauffman Stadium since MLB began tracking such data.
Batting Statistics
- The home run boosted Judge’s batting average to .398, an impressive mark that stands atop major league hitters.
- His OPS rose to 1.279, significantly leading over Shohei Ohtani, who ranks second in baseball with an OPS of 1.015.
Season Performance
Judge has been on fire this season, and his recent performance is no exception:
- He hit two home runs Sunday in a loss to the Boston Red Sox.
- His on-base percentage and slugging percentage both remain at or near their highs this season.
This season-long heater for Judge has solidified his position as one of baseball’s top performers:
- He now ranks second behind Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh with eight home runs through Monday afternoon.
- He is tied atop American League leaders for most RBIs alongside Boston’s Rafael Devers.
Key Attributes
Judge’s impressive performance has been fueled by his ability to:
- Hit for power.
- Get on base consistently throughout games.
- Draw walks, allowing him to reach base more often than not this season.
In addition to his impressive hitting numbers, Judge has also shown off his speed around the bases. However, his aggressive approach at times can lead him into trouble. Despite these challenges, he remains one of baseball’s top players and will likely continue to be a key factor in any postseason push by New York.
Team Standing
The Yankees are currently sitting atop their division standings but face stiff competition from other teams vying for playoff spots as they look ahead towards October.
