The 2018 Home Run Derby takes place in Nationals Park in Washington D.C., a park somewhat partial to lefthanded hitters, but without any major quirks besides a deep centerfield. Last year's returning champion, Aaron Judge, isn't back for the 2018 competition, which means a new champion will be crowned.
Tale of the Tape:
Aguilar: .298/.373/.621, 24 HR, 70 RBI
Hoskins: .252/.363/.456, 14 HR, 56 RBI
Matchup Analysis: Aguilar and Dodgers infielder Max Muncy are the breakout power hitters of the 2018 season, but Aguilar's burly presence and mammoth home runs make him a worthy top seed for this year's derby.
