2025 Home Run Derby Thread

With 2024 Home Run Derby winner Teoscar Hernandez not in this year's field, I probably won't be watching this one.

I will say, given his adductor injury earlier this year and his slowed offensive production since, I'm kind of glad he's not participating this year. That said, I was certain that last year's incredible HRD performance was going to impair his ability to mash for the rest of the year--and Teoscar ended up being fine in the second half of 2024 (and it all ended well, right?). But this year, Teoscar could probably use the extra rest.

Good luck to this year's HRD participants!

shits painful to watch. the MLB is trying hard to be the NFL. all this hoopla is not baseball.

Whoops, sorry I forgot to post for the All-Star Game. Great to see Clayton Kershaw (and hear him mic'd up!).
