Boy, do I hope I am wrong about this, but my first
impression after looking at the field for the 2018 State Farm Home Run Derby
is… what a bore this is going to be. Again, I hope I am wrong and, again, this
is just a first impression… but wow. I guess we have been spoiled over the
years with the likes of Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez and Giancarlo Stanton in the
event, but the names we will go over below just do not excite me right off the
bat. I’m sorry but they don’t, and I can’t be the only one.
(#1) Jesus Aguilar – MIL
(#8) Rhys Hoskins – PHI
(#4) Alex Bregman – HOU
(#5) Kyle Schwarber – CHC
(#2) Bryce Harper – WAS
(#7) Freddie Freeman – ATL
(#3) Max Muncy – LAD
(#6) Javier Baez – CHC
So, who wins? I guess I will go with Max Muncy, just
because. I may not even watch it, truth be told.
