Aaron Judge has shown he can make a highlight out of just about anything.

In Tuesday’s win over Toronto, it came not after a home run, but after he took a low slider for a called third strike to lead off the bottom of the fourth.

Judge immediately tapped his helmet to initiate an automated ball-strike system challenge, took off his arm guard and strolled to first before the result was even known.

Three batters later, Ryan McMahon hit a game-tying three-run homer against Dylan Cease.
