The 2018 MLB Home Run Derby will have a tough time living up to last year's extravaganza when Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge took home the crown.
Aside from Judge, the field of eight also included Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez, who took down eventual 2017 NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton in the first round.
But this year, Judge declined to defend his title, Stanton declined to participate and Sanchez is on the disabled list.
Yes, there is star-power at the 2018 Home Run Derby in the name of Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, who will be the hometown hero at Nationals Park.
