Aaron Judge. Quick! What did you think of?
Probably a monster home run. You may have pictured his recognizable smile. Or maybe you even just pictured #99 towering above his opponents. The point is, he’s not necessarily known for his defence.
That’s not to say that he hasn’t made nice catches, he certainly has, but during Game 7 of the ALCS Judge made a catch that overshadows every other play he’s made while patrolling right field. The massive Yankees slugger leaped mid-stride and managed to snatch the ball just before it cleared the fence.
While fans usually like to pepper Judge with “All Rise”, this time it was Judge that rose up. Unfortunately for Judge and the Yankees, Evan Gattis would homer moments later to left field – nothing Judge could do about that one.
Judge is proving to be even more clutch than expected for the Bronx Bombers.
