Who's ready to bash? Meet the eight Home Run Derby competitors

Youth is served in this year's Home Run Derby, as the average age of the eight participants is 26.39 years old, the youngest field ever. None of the eight players was born when the first Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game was held in 1985. The pressure is on Bryce Harper to win in front of the home fans, but don't be shocked if one of the season's two biggest surprises -- Jesus Aguilar and Max Muncy -- continue their dream seasons with a Home Run Derby title.

Here's a snapshot of all eight guys:

Jesus Aguilar, Brewers

Why he's here: He leads the National League with 24 home runs, and his home run rate of 7.
