That was a 100MPH pitch that was high and inside and somehow Judge turned on it.

Also the fastest pitch he hit for a HR in his career.

Baseball is fun because weird things happen sometimes, that HR is one of those weird things. Varland makes that pitch 100 times and maybe it gets hit for a HR once.
The more 100 MPH pitches there are the higher the chances of this happening in the future as batters adapt. I don't anticipate MLB teams going back to 85 MPH junkballers for half their rotation
