Judge has been coveted by fans looking to see a show in the derby. The Yankees rookie has blown away fans with a slew of prodigious blasts clubbed this season. The 6-foot-7 outfielder has incredible power and leads MLB with 27 home runs. Sanchez has 13 homers this season.
Between Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, this year’s Home Run Derby will feature two of the most powerful sluggers in the game, which is a win for MLB and its fans.
