Back in 2017, Aaron Judge took the Bronx by storm with one of the greatest rookie seasons in MLB history. Fans all over the country would watch every Judge at bat hoping see him hit another bomb. At the All-Star break, he led baseball with 30 home runs and was one of the favorites heading to the Home Run Derby in Miami.
Round 1
In the first round, Judge received an assist from his teammate Gary Sanchez, who bounced defending champion Giancarlo Stanton from the derby. While things started to move in Judge’s direction, he still had to get past Justin Bour, Miami’s slugging first baseman.
