@@billythefxck lol I said the same thing in regards to Torres. He slid to second but the 2nd baseman had his knee on the bag, which prevented him from touching the bag. Torres was called out. And you're confusing this rule with something else. The defender was NOT preventing the runner from going to 2nd, merely preventing the runner from touching the bag.
I'm only halfway thru watching this but it's obvious he's a great fundamentally sound outfielder. Takes his time fielding the ball, which keeps his body balanced for a good strong accurate throw, never throws over the cut-off man, which keeps runners from taking extra bases on him, gives the infielder the ability to cut down advancing runners, and can redirect off target throws. He also is remarkably accurate, making it possible for a quick strong throw from the the cut-off man, and a quick easy tag for the catcher. And all these throws are on a line, strong arm. Of course, these are the best of the best throws, but still, very impressive.
Well of course he isn’t going to oook fast he’s 6’7 nobody that tall legs move like tyreek hills legs. They take bigger strides but it’s a lot easier for tall guys like to have a good arm with those long arms. Even though I’m 5’11 my wing span is 78” which is about 6’6 which allows me to throw 95-98mph for my height.
His mechanics are so good....keeping the ball on a line drive trajectory no matter the bounces at the end will arrive before the runner all day long. He hits the cut with exact same throw! Easy to teach but not too many guns like that, period. Well maybe mine back in the day, lol!
His throws are incredibly accurate. You gotta love his demeanor, Jeter reincarnated. Busts chops with the boys behind the scenes, but plays it straight with the media. Has that natural leadership and respect from teammates like jeter. 10yr deal and next captain is my prediction.
@@huh8896 "Jeter demeanor" silly person. Jeter had the best possible demeanor for an athlete. Natural leader and in a long season, his qualities are actually more important than whatever "metrics" you think matter more than anything bc that's all your simple mind can process. Human beings need strong and capable leaders to succeed at anything, especially team sports. Get a clue.
1:25 play is so undervalued. He spun to his glove side and threw a laser beam off balanced. 🤯 at this point give that man the whole damn check book and MVP
Mans got an absolute cannon. Those long arms act as huge leverage multiplier. Judge's defensive plays and base running I find much more interesting than home runs tbh.
He plays the wall perfectly. Like a pool shooter banking their shot. He knows how the ball is gonna come off the bank, positions himself when he receives the ball and just releases. I mean its awesome
Can't help but notice how alot of these throws are at yankee stadium, which we all know has a none existent right field. While it's impressive that he almost always seems to be accurate and keeping the ball on a low trajectory, most of these throws are coming from a shifted deep second base or the corner, where he's throwing from 50-75 feet shorter than most right fielders.
I haven’t seen a RF’r with such a strong and accurate arm that can pile up assists like this since Larry Walker in the mid-late 90’s. He’s a hall of famer now so he’s in good company!
Arm strength is one thing.. but the accuracy of every one of Judge's throw is the truly impressive part of these clips. Every single one of them is a strike.
As much attention as he receives, I believe he is the most underrated player in sports. Does not receive enough credit for how great he is. A once in a lifetime Willie Mays caliber player (in my opinion). People have allowed a seed to be grown in their minds that he is injury-prone. I am not sure. What do I know is when playing and healthy, he is incredibly good at both ends. He is also clutch in post season. Very fun to watch. Everybody likes him. Complete package for an all-time great. He can be the modern Mickey Mantle
He doesn't have an arm that's up there with the best-ever RFs, but his fundies are just about perfect night in, night out - always takes great routes, always makes the right decision, hits the cutoff man, plays caroms and ballpark quirks well, etc. And his throws are always dead-on accurate...
Roberto Clemente of the Pirates used to have fungo's hit in warmup to him on the warning track and he'd then throw one to the plate on a rope. Right field at old Forbes Field actually had a dogleg and in the corner to get to home plate the throw had to go over the first few rows of the stands. I was a little kid and saw this in person...very impressive as the throw never got more than about 15 feet off the ground. He put so much backspin on it the ball just wouldn't drop (like airsoft hop-up) and it made a sizzling sound as it went by in front of me. Very few people tried to run on Clemente....for good reason.
if you're learning the game of baseball, and in particular any outfield position watch from 2:32 on over and over and if you ever think working on footwork is not important - watch it again.
@@60ft6inProductions after hearing about advanced stats, I believe so. If the Yankees beat the Astros and went to the world series, I think it would have been a lock for him
go Dogs baby. one of the most elite players to ever come through Fresno State. proud to say I've met him and as you can expect, couldn't be nicer. Judge fan for life
I watched half of this video & 3 plays were bad calls. In other words, the runner was arguably safe, 2 xs clearly safe. And a couple of plays were not outfield assists ! Judge threw to the cut off man then the seco.d throw was the deciding throw. I'm not saying that he is a slouch, he has a good arm but he is no Ichiro or Jeremy Bernitz or Vlad Guerrero or Raul Mondesi or Larry Walker, he is similar to Dave Winfield in my opinion & that's saying alot. He has had a good start to his career & I wish him the best. I remember the game being played with appreciation for the little things. Stealing bases, bunting, how about this : running hard out of the batters box ! Anyone remember those days ? ! ? Anyone who wants to see true skill at the right field position or throwing runners out from the outfield in general, check out some of the names above. I know I didn't mention that any but there were never that many who did this well, consistently
Judge is a complete player. He hits, he fields, he runs, he throws, and he's smart. What more could you want? Most guys his size get stuck at first base whether they can play it well or not, or they become a career DH..
Also, when the plays are made in Yankee stadium, it must be remembered that the right field area in the Bronx is very much smaller than almost every other field in baseball ! Yankee stadium & San Francisco giants stadium have smaller amounts of field & so the advantage goes to the fielder in situations where the ball stays in play & is in play in right field. Again, I'm not saying that he is not a good player. But, as Winfield for example was given credit for his great bat, he was known as a decent thrower, not a great one, when it was taken into consideration that he played at Yankee stadium ! Judge seems to have a strong arm but more likely than anything else, he seems to have a average or slightly above average arm with above average accuracy which in the stadium that has that short porch, is very helpful & can be deceiving to people who are ignorant to the vast diversity of the wonderful game that is baseball. And yes I'm not a Yankee fan
Man makes it look soooo easy to fry them out! However, Ichiro had a better arm and runners DID NOT venture far with him, he (Ichiro) still didn't make it look this easy.
Judges arm is amazing no question. Imagine if Judge would bare hand some of these balls? Those runners would be out by miles. Base runners today remind me of Nfl running backs. They want to slide around the base or avoid any contact at all. Several of these runners might have been safe had they been sliding correctly.
His was so nonchalant on that last one lol…he was like “ can’t believe he’s trying for second.”
The last one where the 2nd baseman blocks the bag lol?
@@billythefxck fyi, they're allowed to do that
@@noelv1976 fyi, you don't know what obstructing a bag is? You can Not do that.

where's the ring?

the amazing thing to me is that some of those throws Judge just seems so nonchalant, but just a perfect throw.
Seems like deception on his part
The play at 2:53 shows his high baseball IQ as well. He pretended he could catch the ball so that the guy on 1st wouldn't run. Brilliant play.
He’s so smooth - looks like he’s playing a friendly game of catch.
His mechanics are so good....keeping the ball on a line drive trajectory no matter the bounces at the end will arrive before the runner all day long. He hits the cut with exact same throw! Easy to teach but not too many guns like that, period. Well maybe mine back in the day, lol!

Always keeps a nice wide stance too which helps him just throw laser beams

Google who the worst field of all time is

Judge hits .230 in the playoffs and has disappeared in the post season since the 2019 ALDS. He is no where near as clutch as jeter was.
@@alwillk But Judge is competent on the field. What is Jeter's DRS??? -165, which makes him the worst fielder of all time.
I love how his throwing mechanics are so simple and straightforward
I'm an Astros fan. But as a baseball fan in general, Aaron Judge is awesome. Dude's a great player, and I hope he has a long, successful career.
I think he’s such an underrated outfielder with how massive of a threat he is at the plate. He will throw a strike every time
He’s so big, it looks like he’s moving slow, but damn he’s fast and accurate.
He’s got a cannon. It looks so effortless for him because he’s so tall and creates leverage with ease.
2:52 the way he deeked the runner to thinking he’d catch the line drive then threw him out at second 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
i noticed that too lol. rly rly heads up play all around
Yeah, I was looking for this comment lol 😂!!
His throwing motion is absolutely effortless yet the balls he throws are all ropes and on the money got damn
1:25 play is so undervalued. He spun to his glove side and threw a laser beam off balanced. 🤯 at this point give that man the whole damn check book and MVP
Agreed. This reminds me of that Ichiro clip

Thank you 🙄 no one else is realizing these throws are as far as it would be warming up to the ball boy before the innings. these are routine
That’s a lot of poor base running. Probably shouldn’t have tested Judge.
All opponents should have this memo about Judge. Don't test his arm!
His throw looks so effortless too. A lot of guys put their body and soul into it, judge is so casual about it.
I always watch the homeplate umpires during plays like these because they always have such enthusiastic punch outs.
Lol I know and they always wait a moment before punching the air
Not only don't you run on him, but you don't pitch to him either! 57 home runs and Counting

He actually does have the arm of the best ever rfs. Look at his statcasts

That throw at 0:33 was a laser guided missile.
There's times where he looks like he isn't even throwing it hard but he throwing straight rockets.
His arm is crazy powerful
He can cover ground, has a missile launcher arm, and laser guided accuracy. He makes so many of these look easy.
Those throws look so effortless, but when they come out of his hand they have some juice on em.
Give this man the key to the city.
It'd be a crime if he ever leaves NY.
Judge is superb when it comes to all around baseball player he has a Canon for a arm and a wicked bat.👍⚾️

Crazy good arm an bat
he looks so surprised every time
Dude has a f**king laser cannon for an arm.
Judge is two way player, you can't convince me otherwise
The guy is so tall and strong, he doesn't have to rush. He knows what he is doing.
About half those plays at home looked like the one that was overturned on the Twins that Jomboy broke down a couple of days ago.
He’s a damn good well rounded player
the defensive highlights by Judge are way more entertaining than the homeruns. it just takes more skill.
Mets fan here... Have to say Judge is just some type of beast
Wait till out Lindor highlights come out...
The new Paul O'Neal. Big guy with a big bat and a big arm.

Will they ever learn to never run on Judge
cant wait for the mets to sweep them again lollll
Very accurate, but it’s nice when it’s a shorter throw than the 15-18yos had to throw at my high school. Yankee stadium is a joke
I don't think he had a choice at 2:53 hahahaha
For a guy of his size, he's a fine defensive player. Good speed and a cannon for an arm.
