Yankees slugger Aaron Judge recorded his hardest hit ball in nearly three years on Tuesday night, launching a two-run home run against Kansas City Royals left-hander Noah Cameron to give New York an early advantage (GameTracker).
According to USA Today, Judge is the only player in modern-era baseball, which dates to 1901, to have this many homers (23) with so high a batting average (.396) in his team's first 64 games.
Aaron Judge wasted no time making his introduction to the Kansas City Royals fans at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday evening. During the top of the first inning, Judge also introduced himself to Royals starter Noah Cameron, taking the first hittable pitch he saw and obliterating it for a 469-foot home run that nearly left the stadium.
