One of the greatest spectacles on the sporting calendar should crown a new champion July 16.
With Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge reportedly not participating in the 2018 Home Run Derby, according to Pete Caldera of NorthJersey.com, a first-time champion is expected to win the exhibition at Nationals Park.
The National League field is set, as the Chicago Cubs duo of Javier Baez and Kyle Schwarber are reportedly set to join Washington's Bryce Harper and Max Muncy of the Los Angeles Dodgers, per Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times.
The rest of the field has yet to be named, but the remaining four participants will come from American League ballclubs.
