Typically, when the New York Yankees are included in the Home Run Derby showcase prior to the All-Star Game, MLB chooses the best of the very best. Aaron Judge's coming out party in 2017 comes to mind (never mind the resulting shoulder injury - grand opening, grand closing). So do Jason Giambi's titanic blasts in Milwaukee in 2002.
Most of the familiar former Yankees who've struggled in the Derby have done so while wearing a different primary uniform. Still, every year, without fail, a titanic power bat comes up surprisingly empty on the big stage. This happens less often now than it did back in the day when MLB would choose, say, Tom Brunansky and send him to the wolves, but still - the league occasionally straight-up gets it wrong.
