Watch: Aaron Judge makes awesome diving catch

Aaron Judge has been tearing the cover off the baseball through the first two months of the MLB season, and the New York Yankees star reminded fans on Sunday that he is capable of making plays in the field as well.

Judge laid out and made a diving catch during the bottom of the fifth inning of the Yankees' game against the Athletics on Sunday. The A's were trailing 11-2 with no outs and a runner on first when shortstop Jacob Wilson lifted a shallow fly ball to right field.

The ball looked like it had a chance to land for a base hit, but Judge dove and made the catch.

Judge entered Sunday batting .396 with 14 home runs, 37 RBI and a 1.258 OPS. His production at the plate has been the big storyline surrounding him, and for good reason.

But Judge has also been known to flash the leather. What was particularly impressive about his catch on Sunday was that the Yankees had a huge lead at the time, but their MVP acted like he had to make a game-saving catch.

Is there anything Judge can't do?
