Watch: Judge obliterates HR at 121 mph to set new Statcast record
Noah K. Murray / USA TODAY Sports
Just when you think you've seen everything Aaron Judge is capable of, he outdoes himself again.
The New York Yankees outfielder absolutely obliterated a baseball Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles when he sent Chris Tillman's offering into the Yankee Stadium seats in left field for his league-leading 19th home run this season.
It wasn't so much what he did, but how he did it. The ball's exit velocity was recorded by Statcast at a whopping 121.1 mph, setting a new record for the hardest hit home run ever recorded by the MLB tool.
Previously, the hardest-hit ball ever recorded registered at 119.8 mph ... that, too, was set by Aaron Judge.
