MLB Home Run Derby 2022: Pete Alonso looks to win third consecutive title

FOX Sports' Tom Rinaldi on what to expect and who to watch in this year's MLB All-Star Game

The MLB Home Run Derby is set for Monday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in what is usually a fun lead-up to the All-Star Game.

There will be seven challengers looking to take the crown from New York Mets slugger Peter Alonso as the first baseman looks to become the first person to win the Derby three consecutive times and tie Ken Griffey Jr. for most wins all-time with three.

Alonso beat Trey Mancini in last year’s competition 23-22. He defeated Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in 2019 23-22 as well. There was no competition in 2020 due to the shortened season over the coronavirus pandemic.

Read below to see who the participants of this year’s Home Run Derby are.
