Aaron Judge sure is multi-talented!
Up until this season, the sixteenth captain of the Bronx Bombers was set to play only in the outfield. Since change is inevitable, this season, he started to play in the left field. And with this throw, he showed how capable he is of playing as an outfielder and also as a left fielder. As amazed as the fans are by looking at Judge’s laser throw, they are also excited about the opening day.

However, it is still spring training, and the fanbase would love it if the team picks up where they left off in the regular season.
