Jul 10, 2017

One of baseball’s most exciting events takes place Monday night in Miami, where some of the best power hitters in Major League Baseball will descend upon Marlins Park for the 2017 Home Run Derby.

Many experts, as well as oddsmakers, have predicted reigning champion and Marlins superstar, Giancarlo Stanton, will win again, but New York Yankees star Aaron Judge should give him plenty of competition for the trophy.

Here are the eight contestants in this year’s derby.

Giancarlo Stanton, Miami Marlins,
Aaron Judge, New York Yankees
Cody Bellinger, Los Angeles Dodgers
Miguel Sano, Minnesota Timberwolves
Charlie Blackmon, Colorado Rockies
Mike Moustakas, Kansas City Royals
Justin Bour, Miami Marlins
Gary Sanchez, New York Yankees

Final: Miguel Sano hit 10, which likely won’t be enough to beat Aaron Judge. We’ll have to see, though.
