If Shohei Ohtani won Round 1 of the Ohtani vs. Judge showdown, then it’s pretty safe to say Judge won Round 2. With a long ball and a pair of defensive highlights, Judge kept the Yankees in a tight ballgame that they eventually won via extra-innings walk-off, 3-2.
In the top of the first, it seemed like Jhony Brito might be in for another short outing and a long night. His second batter, Ohtani, cracked one deep to center, 111.5 mph off the bat. With a projected distance of 411 feet, it would’ve been a homer in 22 of 30 MLB ballparks.
