"He has plenty of years to do it. People forget the marathon of the season. That's our one day off of the season. Fellow Yankee and two-time derby participant Giancarlo Stanton supports whatever Judge wants to do. "Derby wasn't even that big of a toll, to be honest. It was just like taking BP. It wasn't anything too taxing. I wasn't trying to swing 110 percent. I was taking a normal percent swing, just trying to make contact." "One and done, Home Run Derby champion," Judge told reporters Thursday morning.
He passed Joe DiMaggio’s record with his 30th long ball of the season. "I had no pressure going into it. I'm a rookie," Judge said. Aaron Judge lived up to the hype of his remarkable rookie campaign by slamming nearly four miles of home runs on Monday evening at Marlins Park, including four drives of more than 500 feet, crowning the Yankees' slugger as the newest champion of the T-Mobile Home Run Derby. Bellinger, hitting off his dad, former big leaguer Clay Bellinger, earned bonus time as four minutes expired with his 13th drive, into the right-field upper deck, then with five seconds remaining knocked out Blackmon 15-14.
Exhibit C: All those extra swings will hurt Judge and Sano
In 2022, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred promised these problems had been solved. Major League Baseball was moving to a new, lighter ball, tacitly admitting to the “Juiced Ball” era while simultaneously stamping it out. Manfred swore up and down that these issues were in the past, a product of COVID supply chain issues back in 2020 and 2021, but here they were again, rearing their ugly head.
Judge, who entered Thursday leading the majors with 25 home runs for a 162-game pace of 65, said he still has no plans or temptation to enter the Home Run Derby for the first time since winning it during his rookie season in 2017. As he did in batting practice, Judge clipped the roof with a drive. Because it did not count, Judge was told he had only tied Bour with five seconds remaining. He easily cleared the center-field wall with his final swing.
APNewsBreak: Aaron Judge invited to All-Star Home Run Derby
If he truly is available, there will be a bidding war across the game. Regardless of how the next steps turn out, Kapler made one thing clear this week. Joc Pederson was brought back to be a DH, not a full-time outfielder. The Giants kicked the tires on Nimmo, but the industry expectation was that New York Mets owner Steve Cohen would win that bidding.
It stands to reason Buxton has no intention of comprising his health in any way whatsoever, particularly with what felt like a close call with his knee earlier this season. As the Twins try to find their way in a tightly contested AL Central, Buxton will be essential for the back half. Guerrero, who has been battling a wrist injury this season, cited that as the reason he doesn't want to take more hacks this year. Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees bats during the 2017 T-Mobile Home Run Derby at Marlins Park on Monday, July 10, 2017 in Miami, Florida. Judge said Tuesday that he received the invitation last week through his agent but had not yet decided whether to accept. Judge is seeking $21 million for 2022, while the Yankees have countered at $17 million.
Yankees Should Upset Apple Cart in Aaron Judge Home Run Derby
Split the season with Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, batting .255 (122-for-478) with 63R, 26 doubles, 3 triples, 20HR, 72RBI and 53BB in 124 games…led all Yankees minor leaguers in home runs and RBI... Following the season, was ranked by Baseball America as the No. 3 prospect in the Yankees organization, the No. 10 prospect in the International League and the No. 15 prospect in the Eastern League…was tabbed by MiLB.com as an Organization All-Star. Just after winning last year's Derby, Judge fell into a deep hitting slump. His post-All-Star Game swoon saw him hit as low as .185 with just three homers in August. He found his swing over the final five weeks of the regular season, hitting .311 with 15 home runs and 32 RBIs.
Judge will bat third for the AL in Tuesday’s All-Star Game. The rookie leads the majors with 30 home runs this season, and is a Triple Crown contender with his .329 average and 66 RBIs so far. No one in Yankees history has ever hit more homers in a rookie season. If that came out wrong, we apologize, but you know it, we know it, and the players know it.
He was the first higher-seed to advance, after No. 5 Miguel Sano beat No. 4 Mike Moustakas and No. 8 Gary Sanchez eliminated top-seeded and defending champion Giancarlo Stanton in another quarterfinal. Miguel Sano will have a chance at becoming the second player to win a Home Run Derby for Minnesota. Zaidi has been clear that he wants a second outfield addition after Haniger and the Giants will check out the trade market, where Bryan Reynolds leads the way as a great fit, but at a very, very high price in terms of prospects.
Now he’s capping his breakout first half with the one thing every baseball fan wants to see — Judge in the Derby, the first step toward a potential showdown with Giancarlo Stanton. Connecting on the winning homer with one second left on the clock, Bellinger advanced to the semifinals of the Home Run Derby with a win over Blackmon on Monday night. Judge leads MLB with 30 home runs, and had plenty of support in the crowd from Yankees fans wearing the English-style white judge’s wigs. But he needed a monster effort to beat Bour, who delighted his home crowd with quite a show — 22 homers, and one doughnut eaten in a time-out.
“I think it would be difficult to convince the owners to go forward with an expansion until those situations are resolved,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said Monday during an All-Star Game town hall meeting. The dining options at Marlins Park for the All-Star festivities are many, from the basic to the seriously dressed-up. Sano went first and connected on nine homers in his 4-minute allotment — then got two more in a 30-second bonus period, thanks to him hitting enough qualifying home runs of 440 or more. The eighth-seeded Sanchez defeated top-seeded and defending champion Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins in the first round.

The 30-year-old Judge also is putting up those staggering numbers with free agency looming after he rejected the Yankees’ seven-year, $213.5 million offer just before the season started. Judge was seeded No. 2 entering the derby and some saw him as a clear favorite along with defending champion Giancarlo Stanton.
