With everyone hitting a lot of home runs, it might look like the Derby field would be as open as ever. First, you need to take under account the ball park, and each of the player’s history in that particular park. This year’s game is in Washington therefore the obvious preferred would be Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper. It hasn’t been a great season for Harper in terms of batting average, but he’s still among the league leaders in home runs. Harper has said that he will participate in the Home Run Derby if he gets the All-Star team. “So count me in for the Derby if and only if I make the team,” Harper said to the Washington Post. “But if I do I’ll be a participant in the 2019 HR Derby.”
Another player to consider in the Home Run Derby when he’s selected is rookie Juan Soto of their Nationals. He’s shown outstanding power this season, and it has moved to the cleanup spot in the lineup for Washington. He hit a home run over the next deck at Nationals Park before this year.
If you’re looking beyond the two hometown heroes, you might choose to think about players who have played Nationals Park over only a few times. J.D. Martinez leads the American League in home runs and that he played with in the National League until last year. He is a good alternative if he chooses to participate. And remember about Jesus Aguilar of the Brewers, as he is just behind Harper because of its direct in National League home runs and young star Ozzie Albies of the Braves who’s making his mark this year.
