Rhys Hoskins will compete in the Home Run Derby

The Phillies may only have one All-Star in 2018, but Aaron Nola won’t be the only guy in DC next week wearing red pinstripes. Rhys Hoskins, 2017’s rookie home run record-setter, will be competing in the Home Run Derby.

WHEEEEEEEE!

This is excellent news. Hoskins hit 18 home runs over 50 games in 2017, but hit his first 17 in just 33 games, which is an MLB record.
