Aaron Judge is so strong that he managed to put a dent in Yankee Stadium with a homer

The home run Judge hit on Tuesday against the Blue Jays, however, was no ordinary homer. Not only did it leave the bat at 118.4 mph -- the fourth-hardest homer of the season, according to Statcast, trailing ... three more Judge homers -- but it traveled 456 feet while not getting higher than 59 feet off the ground:

Yes, even Judge's line drives carry 456 feet. Oh, and the ball was hit so hard that it managed to dent the metal above the gate beyond the fence in left-center field:
At least Judge had a sense of humor about all that property damage. As he told MLB.com's Matthew Martell: "I'm still waiting for the bill from [the TV]."
The Home Run Derby cannot come soon enough.
