I’m going to tell you a bunch of stuff you already know really quick. And then you’re going to watch something awesome.
You truly have to see how far Aaron Judge hit this baseball
He found the farthest spot in Fenway to hit a home run without it leaving the park.

Aaron Judge demolishes baseballs. He instills fear in just abut every pitcher he faces, and then he confirms the need for fear by crushing baseballs into the outer reaches of field after field after field. He shows no mercy. He doesn’t care if baseballs ever see their families again.
On Saturday night in ALDS Game 2 against the Red Sox, he did that to a ball that came out of the hand of David Price. Price notoriously struggles in October, and he infamously struggled against the Yankees this season (23 runs, 11 HR, 11 BB, 11 K in 17⅓ IP against him in 2018) but something tells me this would have left the yard regardless of who was on the mound.
Just .... look at this thing.
That’s a 445 foot bomb to the very edge of Fenway. As far as you can hit it while still giving a fan the chance to catch the ball you just slaughtered. It left his bat at 113 mph which is a little tough to fully grasp until you watch it and go “oh. yeah. that fast.”
Aaron Judge in October is like Aaron Judge any other time. Ruthless and strong and big. Don’t test the theory that any of those descriptors are wrong because you’ll pay the price.
