If Luke Voit Wants to be in the 2019 Home Run Derby, Give Him a Spot

Major League Baseball's Home Run Derby is a little over a month away, and Yankees slugger Luke Voit is already thinking about the event.

When asked by NJ.com if he'd like to participate in the slugfest, Voit had a simple answer–"Hell yeah."

Voit hit his 15th dinger of the season, a 436-foot solo shot, in Sunday's 8–5 loss to the Red Sox. The first baseman has the second-most home runs on the Yankees roster behind Gary Sanchez, who sits atop the American League with 18.

Reigning National League MVP Christian Yelich leads baseball with 22 home runs, while Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger is close behind him with 20.
