New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge didn’t quite reach Mickey Mantle tape-measure status, but he established himself as this generation’s premier long-distance swatter in his own right.

Judge finished with 47 home runs traveling a total distance of 3.9 miles to win the 2017 Home Run Derby. He was the only player to hit a 500-foot home run and that’s a mark he topped four times, with shots of 501, 504, 513 and 507 feet. He made it look easy in the finals, never going consecutive swings without hitting at least one home run.

Mantle, the Yankees Hall of Famer who played in the 1950s and 1960s, was a distance-hitting legend. A website paying tribute to "The Mick" claims he hit 10 home runs at least 530 feet among his 536 career homers. That might be slightly exaggerated, but modern technology allows us to better assess Judge’s home runs than Mantle’s.

Judge already owned the longest home run of the regular season, a 495-foot clout against the Orioles on June 11.

Judge averaged 438 feet on his home runs, 25 feet longer than his average distance during the regular season. He’s more known for how hard he hits home runs. Statcast clocks his average career home run exit velocity at 110.4 mph, the best for anyone with at least 25 home runs in the last three seasons.

Judge proved to be a more effective home run hitter than last year’s champ, Giancarlo Stanton. Judge homered on 59 percent of his swings, compared with 51 percent for Stanton in 2016. Stanton did have an 11-foot edge in average distance (446 to 435) though he didn’t have any 500-foot home runs.

But it was the distance on this day that was the most impressive. If you were to measure Judge’s home runs from end to end they would stretch from Yankee Stadium to one of New York’s most prominent attractions, the Bronx Zoo, with eighty-five-hundredths of a mile of distance to spare.
