Kris Bryant was one of two Cubs named to the 2015 Gillette Home Run Derby presented by Head & Shoulders, and he will join teammate Anthony Rizzo in the event, to be held Monday at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
"This is just frosting on the cake that he's in the Home Run Derby and I'm able to pitch to him," Mike Bryant said Thursday. "I'll take the chocolate, with the cake being that Kris made the All-Star team."
Bryant was selected this past Monday by National League manager Bruce Bochy to play in the All-Star Game presented by T-Mobile.
