All-Star week is well underway with the Atlanta Braves hosting the 2025 festivities. There was excitement over the weekend with the Futures Game and the MLB Draft. However, fans were looking forward most to the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game.
Ronald Acuna Jr. was originally slated to participate, but after feeling some back tightness last weekend, he decided to only appear in the All-Star Game. He was replaced by his teammate Matt Olson last minute, who has looked forward to this moment most of his life.
Olson was in attendance during the Home Run Derby in 2000 when Atlanta last hosted the event.
