Aaron Judge Says He\'ll Skip Home Run Derby 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Jun 24, 2024 12:44 pm

Aaron Judge will not participate in this year\'s Home Run Derby.

The New York Yankees slugger won the event in 2017, his rookie year, and has not done it since.

\"I\'m not doing it. There\'s no need this year,\" Judge said. \"I\'m not done with it. Once it\'s back in New York, I\'ll be there.\"

Judge hit his 28th home run Saturday night, four more than any other player in baseball.

He entered Saturday\'s game with a .301/.425/.688 batting line and leads the league in doubles (22), RBI (67), OPS (1.113), total bases (187) and WAR (5.2) in addition to home runs.
