NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Yankees rookie sensation Aaron Judge has been invited to participate in next month’s Home Run Derby.
Judge said Tuesday that he received the invitation last week through his agent but had not yet decided whether to accept.
The 25-year-old outfielder, a towering presence at 6-foot-7, tops the major leagues with 24 home runs after connecting Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Angels. He is second in the American League with a .333 batting average and 54 RBIs.
“I’m going to think about it for a while,” Judge said.
