Yankees slugger Aaron Judge typically draws big reactions from announcers with his towering home runs. But a few pitches before his 462-foot blast during the eighth inning of Monday’s game against the Blue Jays—his second of the night—he had the Toronto broadcast team downright puzzled with some curious eye movement while in the batter’s box.
As Judge took pitches from Blue Jays reliever Jay Jackson, announcers Dan Shulman and Buck Martinez noticed the reigning American League MVP’s eyes dart off to the side just before Jackson’s delivery. They were in the midst of speculating on what Judge could have been looking at when the reigning home run champ launched a moonshot to center field to give the Yankees a 7–0 lead.
