New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge hit the hardest ball of 2017 Saturday night when he blasted a 121.07 mph solo shot to left in the first inning against the Baltimore Orioles, according to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal.
MLB.com's Bryan Hoch noted Judge's homer was also the hardest hit ball in the Statcast era, which dates back to 2015:

Judge has been in a zone at the plate all season long, and he's upped the ante for the hardest-hit ball in 2017 time and again over the past few months.
