Aaron Judge has dropped plenty of jaws with his bat. On Monday night, the Yankees superstar did it with his glove.
Judge added to his likely AL MVP highlight reel with a leaping catch at the wall in left-center field at Nationals Park, using every inch of his 6-foot-7 frame to rob Andres Chaparro of a home run.
He then threw back towards the infield, with Gleyber Torres providing the relay throw that doubled off James Wood – who had just rounded second when Judge caught the ball – at first base to end the fourth inning. Judge’s teammates were seemingly in awe of his defensive gem, with Alex Verdugo throwing up his hands in left field and Nestor Cortes later fired up when the double play was completed to get the left-hander off the hook.While most of the buzz surrounding Judge has been because of his offense, as he entered Monday with 51 home runs on the year and seven in his last six games, he has played a solid center field all season.
