by Felix Pantaleón

Prior to the 2018 MLB All-Star Game, eight of baseball’s top sluggers will take their swings in the Home Run Derby, which starts at 8 p.m. on Monday, July 16, 2018 (7/16/18) at Nationals Park in Washington. Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals headlines the field of eight players, which has several young stars set to take the stage for the first time. Jesus Aguilar of the Milwaukee Brewers enters as the surprise top seed after putting together a first-half offensive outburst. Rhys Hoskins of the Philadelphia Phillies, Kyle Schwarber of the Chicago Cubs and Max Muncy of the Los Angeles Dodgers represent some of the other young talent ready to swing away in the derby.
