Aaron Judge is undoubtedly one of the best hitters on the planet, but that’s all he does.
Turns out the guy is a good right fielder, too, and he reminded us of that Saturday night in his home state of California.
JD Martinez was the tying run for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he hit a fly ball to right, which Judge had to work hard for.

Judge reached out for the grab along the wall and literally ran through the wall for his team.
The giant 6’7″, 282-pound human literally broke through the bullpen door.
“They’ve got to do a stronger fence, I guess,” Judge told FOX’s Ken Rosenthal after the game on the telecast.
The trainers came to check on Judge, but he was fine.

WHITE SOX WIN IN PARK WITH UNEXPECTED HELP FROM REFEREE
So no, Judge isn’t just a home run hitter, he does it all.
Speaking of home runs, he hit his AL-leading 19th of the season earlier in the day and is one behind Pete Alonso for the MLB lead despite missing 11 games on the disabled list.
Judge came within five points of winning the Triple Crown last year, while also setting a new AL record with 62 home runs, surpassing the 61 of New York Yankees teammate Roger Maris, who hit in 1961. .
Last season, Judge led the majors in home runs, RBIs (131), on-base percentage (.425), slugging percentage (.666), total bases (391) and runs scored (133). His 111 walks led the American League and he earned MVP honors.
That season came on a walk year, and it turned into a record nine-year, $360 million contract and he was named the first Yankees captain since Derek Jeter.
His numbers at this point in the season look eerily similar to what they were at this point last year (he leads the majors with a 1.065 OPS), so it’s certainly not out of the question for him to defend him. Especially if his defense is still so good.
