Chicago Cubs star Javier Baez not only starts the All-Star Game at second base, but is also taking part in his first Home Run Derby. Joining him in the Derby? Fellow slugger and teammate Kyle Schwarber. Folks, buckle your seatbelts.
Pundits and writers alike make much about how the Home Run Derby can impact a player’s swing down the stretch.
I’m not worried about that in this instance. While these two have proven to be effective Major League hitters in different ways, they swing to hit the ball as hard and far as they can with virtually every swing.
