NEW YORK -- In his first career game at Citi Field, Aaron Judge visited a seating area where few players have been able to reach, crushing his American League-leading 37th homer into the upper deck in left field.
Judge's fourth-inning solo shot off Mets starter Robert Gsellman, giving the Yankees a 2-1 lead, rocketed off the slugger's bat at 117 mph and traveled a projected 457 feet, according to Statcast™, into the third deck, where it was grabbed by a fan sitting in the faraway Section 536.
Not one of the Mets' outfielders moved during the titanic blast, including left fielder Yoenis Cespedes, who is believed to be the only previous player to homer into the third deck in left field at Citi Field -- the Mets' home since 2009.
