MLB has revealed participants for this year's Home Run Derby, including Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Yankees. Chisholm, who hit a career-high 24 home runs in 2024, has 17 homers this season, indicating a potential new high. This will be his first Home Run Derby despite previous experience in the Bahamas. He aims to join other Yankees winners such as Tino Martinez, Jason Giambi, Robinson Canó, and Aaron Judge. Chisholm is the first Yankee in the Derby since 2017, where the Yankees have historically been the most successful franchise in this event.
In 2024, Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a career-high 24 homers during his season split between the Marlins and Yankees, and with 17 through his first 61 this year, he might be on the verge of another career-high.
Chisholm will look to join Tino Martinez (1997), Jason Giambi (2002), Robinson Canó (2011), and his captain, Aaron Judge (2017), among Yankees to win the Home Run Derby.
The Derby format has evolved over time since the competition was introduced at the 1985 All-Star Game in Minnesota, but the Yanks have won more of them than any other franchise.
Chisholm is the first Yankee to join the Derby field since Judge and Gary Sánchez in 2017.
