Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge just can’t stop hitting balls over the fence. 

In the first game of the team’s doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday, Judge launched his 55th home run, setting the record for the most homers hit in a single season by a right-handed hitter in franchise history. 

Judge just seems entirely locked in right now, as he’s prepared for every pitch thrown his way. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli decided to pitch to him in the bottom of the fourth inning – Angels manager Phil Nevin had intentionally walked Judge twice in a game that he eventually would homer in last week – and Louie Varland threw an 85 mph changeup that got too much of the plate.
