New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso announced Wednesday that he will defend his Home Run Derby title in Colorado on July 12.
Alonso won the HR Derby the last time it was held in 2019 at Progressive Field in Cleveland. Alonso edged Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. by a score of 23-22 in the final round to capture the Derby title.
There was no HR Derby last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
