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. "Nope. Same answer," Judge told Newsday when asked about the Home Run Derby on Thursday. "Only if I'm talking about it here [in New York]."

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

The New York Yankees are 38-23 to start the year, and Aaron Judge is having an MVP-caliber season, again. He is practically a lock for the All-Star Game, but the slugger has made it clear where he stands on the Home Run Derby.
