New York Yankees center fielder Aaron Judge is on pace to break his own American League home run record of 62. With six home runs in his last five games, he has continued his MVP season at the plate and now in the field. With a runner on and a two-run lead against the Nationals, Judge flashed the leather.
Judge made the catch with a runner on and a two-run lead for New York. The double play ended the fifth inning and gave pitcher Nestor Cortes a clean sheet through those innings. Judge not only makes jaw-dropping plays but makes them in the biggest spots. Fans on social media noticed the greatness from the Yankees’ captain and reacted accordingly.
@CouRageJD posted on X, formerly Twitter, “OH MY GODDD.” @TheMikeyPasta went with “HE IS UNSTOPPABLE.” @toasty_yosty2 says it’s time for a trip upstate for 99, “Just put him in Cooperstown.” And @keithwhite says this catch rivals an all-time Yankees snag, “Judge matches Jeter’s ‘The Catch’”
