In two weeks, eight of baseball's top sluggers will meet in the 2025 Home Run Derby at Truist Park in Atlanta. Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. will represent the host team. Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is the only other player to commit to the event so far. The full eight-player Home Run Derby field will be revealed in the coming days.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way player Shohei Ohtani has revealed whether he will participate in the 2025 Home Run Derby at All-Star weekend in July.

Ohtani got through the first inning in 14 pitches, eight of which were fastballs, including one that was clocked at 101.7 mph — the hardest of his career — that got Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino to hit into an inning-ending double play.
