House Run Derby stay updates, outcomes, highlights from the 2021 MLB issues competitors

Get ready to see some great home runs. Back after a 2020 hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Home Run Derby returns in one of the hitter-friendly ballpark stadiums, with some of the game’s best power hitters to do their hacks.

Of course, all eyes will be on Angels star Shohei Ohtani, who has launched 16 long balls since June 15 to take the MLB lead with 33 homers. No other player in the league has more than 28. There’s also the hometown hitter in Rockies shortstop Trevor Story and the reigning champion in Mets first baseman Pete Alonso. Both players strive for historic victories – only three times was the winner of the derby from the local team and only twice was a batsman repeated as the winner.

Fans will also watch as Orioles’ first baseman Trey Mancini continues his sensational comeback season after beating cancer last year, alongside royals catcher Salvador Perez hoping to become the first backstop to do the the event wins, and Nationals 22-year-old phenomenon Juan Soto, who will try to be the youngest winner. They’ll take on AL West sluggers Joey Gallo from Rangers and Matt Olson from Athletics, who have both hit the most home runs of any batter in the field since 2017.
