Yankees' Aaron Judge continues tear, launches 469-foot HR

KANSAS CITY, Missouri -- Aaron Judge crushed a 469-foot home run that nearly left Kauffman Stadium in the first inning of the New York Yankees' game against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night, continuing his season-long ravaging of pitchers across baseball.

The home run, Judge's 24th, was the third longest in the majors this season behind Mike Trout's (484 feet) and Logan O'Hoppe (470 feet).

The homer raised Judge's batting average to .398 and his OPS to 1.279 -- 264 points higher than the second best in baseball, Shohei Ohtani.
