Aaron Judge homered in his first at-bat as Yankees captain because of course he did

Aaron Judge has already done a lot of ridiculous things in his still-young MLB career.

In Judge’s debut back in August 2016, he was in the on-deck circle when fellow prospect Tyler Austin sent the Yankee Stadium crowd into a frenzy by homering in his first career at-bat. It was dropped into the short porch, but it counted nonetheless! Judge saw his pal do that, thought “pretty cool” and then promptly stole the spotlight entirely by launching a titanic 446-foot homer off the restaurant in dead center field in his first at-bat.

The memorable feats have only continued since then.
