Related Topics: Home Run Derby

Miguel Sano is taking his team-leading 18 homers to Major League Baseball’s biggest stage for sluggers: The Home Run Derby.

The 24-year-old is a “Sano doubter” to participate in the slugfest, as he ranks ninth in the American League in homers. He’s only seven home runs from tying a career high, set last season. And it’s not even the all-star break.

The Twins announced the news Thursday.

Miguel Sano will already be in Miami for the HOME RUN DERBY – make sure he is the starting 3B!
