Baseball’s brightest stars have assembled at Globe Life Park, home of the Texas Rangers for this year’s All-Star festivities. Tonight, sluggers will square off in the annual Home Run Derby. Joining the participants is Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., who will get to hit in his native Texas, where his father spent years as a pitcher.
Along with Witt, the American League will feature José Ramírez of the Guardians, Gunnar Henderson of the Orioles, and Adolis García of the hometown Rangers. The National League participants include two-time Derby champ Pete Alonso of the Mets, Marcell Ozuna of the Braves, Alec Bohm of the Phillies, and Teoscar Hernández of the Dodgers.
