On Tuesday, June 10, 2025, New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge launched a jaw-dropping 469-foot home run in the first inning against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The blast, nearly clearing the left-field Hall of Fame wall, gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead. Per ESPN’s Jeff Passan, it was the sixth-farthest homer at the stadium since tracking began a decade ago.
The homer, Judge’s 24th this season, marked his seventh-longest ever and the third-longest in MLB this year, behind only Mike Trout (484 feet) and Logan O’Hoppe (470 feet). His career-best 496-foot shot in 2017 remains tied for the fifth-longest in the Statcast Era.
Leading the league with a .396 batting average, 1.264 OPS, and 96 hits, Judge trails only Cal Raleigh in home runs. With the Yankees at 39-25, this series opener against the Royals showcased Judge’s dominance. Will he keep rewriting the record books? Stay tuned!
