New York Yankees star Aaron Judge has been criticized and accused of cheating due to an incident in Monday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Some would be thrown off and flustered by this in the following game, but it hasn’t seemed to bother Judge one bit.

Judge was criticized after seemingly looking over to the Yankees dugout numerous times while at-bat in Monday’s game. He notably hit two home runs in the game and was a big reason for their win.

The reigning AL MVP didn’t look over to the dugout on Tuesday, but that didn’t stop him from hitting a monstrous home run in a key moment of the game.

Judge came to the plate in the top of the seventh inning in a 3-3 game with a runner on base. The drama in Monday’s game has carried over to Tuesday’s game. Regardless, Judge silenced the road crowd with a ridiculous 448-foot blast to dead center for the lead.

Controversy aside, Judge has been on an absolute tear as of late. This marks his fifth home run in the last four games.

 

Many around the MLB world took notice of this absolute moonshot and believe that he has now silenced his critics.

Balls are very rarely hit that far in the Rogers Centre in Toronto. It actually left a dent in a maple leaf logo over the batters eye far past the fence.

This massive shot from Judge would end up being the difference in the game, as they would cruise to a 6-3 victory.
