Luke Voit has inspired a number headlines over the last few days. To start, he led American League first baseman in the first wave of All-Star voting. On top of that, Voit made it clear he’s more than willing to participate in the Home Run Derby.
Voit has 16 home runs and a slugging percentage of .504 so far this year. Couple that with one of the better barrel percentages in baseball and his candidacy for the Derby is fairly strong. Not to mention he is a match made in heaven with Yankees fans. He would bring energy, passion, and unbuttoned shirt to the showdown.
