Aaron Judge Just Notched His NINTH Hit Over 115 MPH, No Other MLB Hitter Has More Than Two

Earlier this season, Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge broke the Home Run Statcast Exit Velocity Record with a monster 119.38 MPH shot off the bat.

Today, he hit a double off Kyle Hendricks in the second inning that was almost just as fast:

That double marks the ninth hit over 115 MPH for Judge this season, and, as you can see in the tweet and title of this post, no one else is anywhere near that level. Aaron Judge is a freak of nature (in the best way possible).

Now go away, until the Cubs win the series (#notbias).
