Kansas City Royals fans inside Kauffman Stadium barely got a chance to grab a seat before Aaron Judge rocked the place.
Facing Royals starter Daniel Lynch in the first inning, Judge blasted a no-doubt 453-foot home run dead center. Outfielder Michael Taylor knew right away that this thing was gone. Check out his reaction in addition to Yankees players in the dugout.
Talk about a monster home run. Not only did this travel 453 feet, the baseball exited Judge’s bat at 113.5 mph.
An impending free agent, Judge entered the game hitting .293 with six homers, 13 RBI and a .961 OPS in 20 games this season. He’s now on pace to hit 54 homers with his best batting average. Yeah, dude is going to get paid big-time next winter.
