It’s Home Run derby time, y’all. Last year, Bobby Witt Jr. got runner-up in the 2024 derby to winner (and eventual World Series champion) Teoscar Hernandez. It was exciting.
This year, not only is there no Witt, but Jazz Chisholm Jr. is one of the American League participants. Boo! Hiss!
The Home Run Derby field is officially set.
