New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge made the best defensive play of his career on Saturday, crashing through a fence in the process.

The 2022 American League MVP is on pace to be even more impressive in 2023 than he was during the 2022 MLB season. 

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge doesn't just hit home runs and put together otherworldly offensive performances, he also showcases a Platinum Glove. 

On Saturday night in a 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, Judge ran through a literal fence to secure a catch.

The play came in the eighth inning of Saturday's matchup when Dodgers star J.D. Martinez hit a rocket into right field. Judge tracked back and eventually crashed through a fence to rob Martinez of what was surely an extra-base hit. 

Among all the catches Judge has made in his career, this snag has to be among the best, if not the greatest catch he has ever made.

Most players would balk at running through a fence with no regard for his own body to complete a play.

Not Judge, it's just another day at the ballpark.

It's that mentality that makes him the game's best player.

If there was any doubt, Saturday's performance put to rest that Judge is still the favorite to repeat as the American League MVP.
