Despite marking his 10th home run, the Yankees fell flat in front of the Baltimore Orioles at the Camden Yards. Yankees manager Aaron Boone reacted to the defeat and even spoke about Judge’s contribution during a post-game press conference. He said-
“I think he’s continuing to become a better hitter. And when I say this, I’m not being cute or funny -- honestly, I don’t think he’s really been that hot yet. He’s getting his hits, and I think it’s a credit to just how great he is. When he gets really going and starts hitting balls in the seats routinely, buckle up.”

Reportedly, Seattle Mariners’ Julio Rodriguez and Pittsburgh Pirates’ Paul Skenes are also a part of the 2025 Heroes of the Game campaign.
