The 2018 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby field looks much different than it has in past years.
Instead of splitting the participants into four from the American League and National League, the NL is represented by seven of the eight players involved in the event.
Three of the seven NL participants are used to hitting in Nationals Park, as they hail from the NL East, while a pair of teammates and two slugging phenoms round out the senior circuit's representatives.
Houston's Alex Bregman, who is the lone AL player in the field, wasn't expected to part of the home-run hitting showcase, as he ranks 13th on the junior circuit in home runs.
