VIDEO: Aaron Judge Robs Austin Meadows Home Run Without Even Having to Jump
By Adam Weinrib
We know Aaron Judge is elite in far more ways than simply with the bat, but though we've seen plenty of circus catches from him in right field over the years, we've never quite seen one this low-effort. Check out Judge robbing Austin Meadows of a home run Thursday night simply by walking back to the wall and being 6-7.
Yes, it's that easy! For exactly one person on this earth.
Seriously, check out how low-effort this really was by examining the photographic evidence.
Judge treated this game-changing home run robbery like a guy reaching up to a high shelf to help his aunt retrieve a jar of preserves. And that's why we love him.
The Yankees swept both halves of Thursday's doubleheader with the Rays, and have Judge's unparalleled length to thank in a major way. Now, if only the home plate umpires could appreciate his height the same way we do.
