Overview

  • Chisholm represented the Yankees in his Home Run Derby debut at Truist Park after smashing 17 homers this season.
  • He skipped formal pre-Derby practice, opting to hit with his stepfather, Geron Sands, to keep a fun-first mindset.
  • Against the clock, Chisholm hit just three homers in his three-minute first round, the lowest since the timed format began.
  • All other first-round participants totaled at least 15 home runs, placing his performance among the Derby’s weakest.
  • He will now refocus on his regular season role with the Yankees after the immediate first-round exit.
