Aaron Judge just added another unforgettable moment to his growing legacy.
During Monday night’s game against the Kansas City Royals, the New York Yankees captain launched a jaw-dropping 469-foot home run to left field. The ball nearly cleared Kauffman Stadium’s Royals Hall of Fame, leaving fans and analysts stunned.
“I’ve been to hundreds of games here and never seen a ball hit there,” ESPN’s Jeff Passan tweeted.
The Yankees quickly shared the blast on social media, and the baseball world followed suit. This marked Judge’s 24th home run of the season, pushing him past Shohei Ohtani for second-most in 2025.
Aaron Judge On a Historic Pace
Aaron Judge’s current performance isn’t just elite, it’s historic. He’s hitting an unbelievable .398 batting average, and his production is drawing comparisons to Yankees legends like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
Earlier this month, Judge became the fastest player since Barry Bonds in 2002 to reach base 100 times in a season. Now, he’s even on track to challenge Ruth’s total bases record, set in 1921.
A Legendary Resume Gets Deeper
The Yankees’ six-time All-Star has already led the American League in home runs three times (2017, 2022, 2024) and holds the AL record for most home runs in a single season (62 in 2022). If he keeps up this pace, 2025 might be his most dominant season yet.
This towering blast gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead over the Royals, and another moment for fans to remember. With the All-Star break looming and MVP talk heating up, Aaron Judge is once again the face of baseball’s power surge.
