Aaron Judge knows how to open a game.
The New York Yankees star had one of the best first innings you will ever see against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday, starting when fellow former MVP Shohei Ohtani hit a long fly ball to center field.
The ball was track to be a solo homer, measured by Statcast to go 411 feet in a stadium that has a 408-foot depth in center field. And then the 6-foot-7 Judge leaped up and pulled that homer back in, first knocking it out of the air with his club and catching it with his bare hand after it came loose.
