For the first time since 2011, the Milwaukee Brewers will have one of their own in the Home Run Derby. Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks both participated that year, and Weeks infamously swung and missed on the first pitch.
Jesus Aguilar was announced as a participant in this year’s Home Run Derby, held at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. To make it even better, Aguilar was given the No. 1 seed going into the Derby.
