As Max Muncy's Final Vote candidacy hangs in the balance, the Dodgers' surprise slugger is the first to confirm he will participate in this year's T-Mobile Home Run Derby on Monday at Nationals Park.
The 27-year-old has clubbed 20 home runs with a .266/.407/.601 slash line and an impressive 1.008 OPS in 68 games for the Dodgers this season. Muncy spent all of last season in the Minor Leagues after hitting five home runs in 96 games with the A's from 2015-16.
Oakland released Muncy at the end of Spring Training in 2017, and the Dodgers signed him as a free agent shortly after as a utility man.
