VIDEO: Aaron Judge Spent Sunday BP Promising Fans Home Runs and Absolutely Destroying the Ball
Aaron Judge's batting practice sessions are always a treat for fans, as he hits towering home run after towering home run. But this BP was different, as Judge took time to give back to the fans in between sessions in Los Angeles. Check out this promise the Linden, CA native made to one older fan before taking the field for the contest -- he guaranteed a dinger, a pledge he'd later deliver on!
The game was dominated by Judge, Mike Ford, and Aroldis Chapman. But the pregame? The pregame was all BAJ.
Judge held a conversation with this fan, the father of Yankees bullpen catcher Jason Brown, talking about the game of baseball and how the fan watches every one of Judge's at-bats. It was a nice gesture by the All-Star outfielder, taking his time to greet an endearing fan, and someone he "missed" in Anaheim earlier in the season.
Then, of course, he just started drilling homer after homer.
Yes, Judge put on an absolute show. Dodger Stadium is no small park, but Judge hit a ball over the bleachers in left field and out of the park. The right fielder has crazy amounts of power, and it was on full display Sunday evening in Los Angeles.
The power-hitting outfielder then led the Yankees over the Dodgers in a rubber match between two potential World Series opponents. Is there anything he can't do?
