Last night, the annual Home Run Derby took place at Truist Park. New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. struggled to find his rhythm, hitting only 3 home runs and being eliminated early on. The performance drew boos from the crowd. At the time of writing, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz and Tampa Bay Rays infielder Junior Caminero are tied for first place with 21 home runs. Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who leads the league in home runs, hit 17 homers in the first round. Chisholm had been among the Yankees' best hitters since returning from an oblique injury earlier this season, batting .250/.348/.861 with 17 home runs and 43 RBIs. His All-Star selection had earned him a spot in this week's Midsummer Classic, alongside teammates Aaron Judge, Carlos Rodon, and potentially Max Fried. Despite Chisholm's disappointing showing, the Home Run Derby featured several standout performances, including a 513-foot home run by Oneil Cruz, tying him for the fourth-longest since 2016 along with Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge.
