Once again, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge will skip the Home Run Derby this year, he told reporters Thursday. Judge won the Home Run Derby in 2017, his rookie year, and has not participated in it since.

Even though he is having a remarkable year for the Yankees, Aaron Judge will not be participating in the 2025 Home Run Derby

According to The New York Post in a story published Wednesday, Judge was given the pendant by designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton, who wanted “nothing too big, something he can wear during the game,” jeweler AJ Machado of AJ’s Jewelry in Miami told the outlet.
