Yankees slugger Aaron Judge recorded his hardest hit ball in nearly three years on Tuesday night, launching a two-run home run against Kansas City Royals left-hander Noah Cameron to give New York an early advantage (GameTracker).

Yankees slugger Aaron Judge crushed a 469-foot home run that nearly left Kauffman Stadium in the first inning Tuesday night, continuing his season-long ravaging of pitchers across baseball.

And he’s about to get some reinforcement in the batting order, as teammate Giancarlo Stanton returned from a season-long injured list stint on Tuesday with a rehab start in the minors. When Judge was informed that Stanton went 2-for-3 with two line-drive singles to center field, he offered a two-word quip in response.

According to USA Today, Judge is the only player in modern-era baseball, which dates to 1901, to have this many homers (23) with so high a batting average (.396) in his team's first 64 games.

The New York Yankees' star absolutely obliterated a ball that nearly made it out of Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday in Kansas City. Judge, in the first inning of the Yankees' matchup with the Royals, smashed a home run that traveled 469 feet and almost cleared the Hall of Fame wall out in left field.
