The 2018 MLB Home Run Derby kicks off the All Star break this Monday in Washington, D.C. - here's everything you need to know about the competition.
The 2018 MLB All-Star break is officially here, and one of the stars of the show is the Home Run Derby at Nationals Park on Monday night.
Eight sluggers will be pitted against each other in bracket form to determine the 2018 champion. Last year, Aaron Judge put an exclamation point on his already impressive rookie year, and this year any one of the eight players in the field could show up with a similarly stunning performance.
Hometown hero Bryce Harper will undoubtedly be the crowd favorite entering Monday night, but with the likes of Rhys Hoskins, Freddie Freeman, and Javier Baez also in the field, there's plenty of exciting players that could light up the scoreboard.
