Aaron Judge hits 496-foot HR, longest since tracking began

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge hit a home run Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles that traveled 496 feet, the longest distance a home run has traveled since ESPN began tracking home runs began in 2009.

Judge homered to left center in the bottom of the sixth inning.

The home run was his 20th of the season. Judge added his 21st homer in the seventh inning. He is the first Yankees player aged 25 or younger to hit 20 home runs before the All-Star break since Roger Maris in 1960.

Giancarlo Stanton and Wladimir Balentien as the only players to hit a home run that traveled more 490 or more feet in that span.
