Jazz Chisholm Finalist for 2025 Home Run Derby

Jazz Chisholm Jr., second baseman for the New York Yankees, has been named the final participant in the 2025 MLB Home Run Derby, scheduled for July 14 at Truist Park in Atlanta. Chisholm, who has hit 17 home runs this season despite missing a month with an oblique injury, joins a field featuring Ronald Acuña Jr., Byron Buxton, Junior Caminero, Oneil Cruz, Cal Raleigh, Brent Rooker, and James Wood. This will be Chisholm's first Derby appearance and the first time a Yankee competes since Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez in 2017, with Judge opting out this year. Chisholm has chosen his stepfather, Geron Sands, as his Derby pitcher. The All-Star Game will follow on July 15, with Chisholm, Judge, and Yankees pitcher Max Fried representing New York. Chisholm's recent power surge and entertaining style add excitement to the competition.
