New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has been on a tear this season, and he continued his impressive run on Tuesday night by hitting his 40th home run of the season. The towering blast came in the fifth inning of the Yankees’ game against the Tampa Bay Rays, and it was an absolute moonshot.

Judge’s home run traveled an impressive 477 feet, making it one of the longest home runs hit in the MLB this season. The 6-foot-7 slugger has been known for his prodigious power since bursting onto the scene in 2017, and he has once again proven why he is one of the most feared hitters in the league.

The home run was Judge’s third in as many games, and it helped propel the Yankees to a 5-3 victory over the Rays. Judge’s power surge has come at a crucial time for the Yankees, who are currently fighting for a playoff spot in a crowded American League wild card race.

Judge’s 40th home run of the season also puts him in elite company, as he becomes just the fourth player in Yankees history to hit 40 or more home runs in multiple seasons. The other three players to accomplish this feat are Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Mickey Mantle, all of whom are Hall of Famers.

With his latest display of power, Judge has solidified his status as one of the premier power hitters in the game today. His combination of size, strength, and bat speed make him a nightmare for opposing pitchers, and he has quickly become a fan favorite in New York.

As the season winds down and the playoff race heats up, Judge will be a key player to watch as the Yankees look to make a deep postseason run. If he can continue to mash home runs like he did on Tuesday night, there’s no telling how far the Yankees can go.
