What can't Aaron Judge do?
In the middle of one of the greatest hitting seasons Major League Baseball has ever seen, the New York Yankees captain seems to be doing everything right.
The 32-year-old superstar has been crushing everything at the plate as he looks to break his own home run record, but he decided to show off some of his defensive prowess as well.
During Monday night's game against the Washington Nationals, Judge robbed a potential home run off the bat of Andres Chaparro with James Woods on first base. It was a spectacular catch against the wall in left-center field.
But Judge still had the wherewithal to fire in a throw to cut-off man Gleyber Torres, who relayed a perfect strike to DJ LeMahieu at first base to nab Woods for the double play.
Suffice to say, fans were left in awe.

Judge has not only cemented himself as the league's best hitter going into the final month of the regular season, but he's also providing plenty of value defensively.
