Aaron Judge (New York Yankees) stole a home run from rival Shohei Ohtani (LA Angels) and immediately fired a home run in his at-bat.
Judge started as the second hitter and center fielder in the home game against the Los Angeles Angels at Yankee Stadium in New York on the 20th (Korean time).
After one out in the first inning, Ohtani hit Yankees starter Britto’s changeup and hit a home run-like ball that flew toward the middle fence toward a home run.
Yankees center fielder Judge jumped in front of the fence and put the batted ball into his glove before dropping it. However, as he landed, he made a bare-handed catch with his ungloveed right hand. Ohtani lost one home run. 먹튀검증
Judge continued Hosobi’s momentum in the bottom of the first inning. With a score of 0-0 on first base, Los Angeles Angels starter Griffin Canning hit the 6th fastball and scored the first two runs over the middle left fence. It is the 6th home run of the season, added 5 days after the Minnesota Twins game on the 15th.
Judge’s batting distance was 412 feet (125.6 m). It flew about 20 cm more than Ohtani’s batting distance of 411 feet (125.3 m), which he handled earlier in the first inning.
Judge, who was defeated by Ohtani the day before, took revenge in one day.
Ohtani hit a two-run home run in the first inning in a match held at the same place on the 19th. The home run on this day was even more special as it came on the 100th anniversary of Yankee Stadium. On a historic day for the Yankees, Ohtani hit a painful home run. On the same day, Judge was silent with no hits in 3 at-bats, 1 RBI and 2 strikeouts.
On the 20th, Judge recorded 1 hit in 3 at-bats, 2 RBIs and 2 walks, while Ohtani went 4 at-bats with no hits and 1 walk.
The ‘batter’ Ohtani and Judge form a rivalry. Ohtani won the 2021 American League Most Valuable Player (MVP) unanimously. Ohtani played well last year as well, but lost the MVP to Judge, who set a new record for the most home runs (62) in the American League.
Judge is competing with a batting average of 0.274, 6 homers and 11 RBIs in 18 games this season, and Ohtani is batting 0.281, 4 homers and 11 RBIs in 17 games.
