Judge, of course, is more than "just" the most dangerous slugger of his era. He's also a deceptively athletic ballplayer who this season has graded out as a pronounced defensive asset in right field. He certainly reminded us of that on Friday.

Aaron Judge made a pair of outstanding catches in right field in a span of three pitches, robbing Pete Crow-Armstrong of a home run and Dansby Swanson of a single in the fourth inning of the New York Yankees' game against the Chicago Cubs on Friday night.

With chants of “MVP” from the Stadium crowd still echoing, Judge made almost as good a catch on the next play, as he raced in and made a diving play on Dansby Swanson’s sinking liner for the final out of the inning.
