Last night against the Boston Red Sox, Yankee’s outfielder Aaron Judge barreled up a baseball for the hardest hit ball of the season:
The THREE hardest-hit balls of 2017 have flown off the bat of @TheJudge44.
This tops the charts: 119.8 mph! https://t.co/i1bWe5baOn pic.twitter.com/vqgLorK8pt

At 119.8 MPH, Judge takes over the top spot on the 2017 Statcast Exit Velocity rankings from … himself. In fact, he now holds all three of the top spots on the list:
- Aaron Judge: 119.8 MPH – Single
- Aaron Judge: 119.4 MPH – Home Run
- Aaron Judge: 119.0 MPH – Double
All Judge needs now is a 119+ MPH triple, to have the hit leaderboard cycle!
