Watch: Aaron Judge hits moonshot off scoreboard at Steinbrenner Field

All rise for the Judge. Aaron Judge, that is.
Judge, the 6-foot-7, 275-pound behemoth of a prospect vying for a spot on the New York Yankees' Opening Day roster, made a strong first impression Friday in his club's Grapefruit League opener, demolishing a fifth-inning solo shot off Elniery Garcia that nearly cleared the scoreboard beyond the left-center fence at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
Data scientists estimate that, had it not smashed into the scoreboard, Judge's shot would've traveled eleventy billion feet.
If Judge's blast reminded you of Giancarlo Stanton's unforgettable smash at Marlins Park from 2012, you're not alone.
