Stupid question.... How are the participants decided? Do the players vote, the coaches vote or do the fans? I’m looking at the current home run leader board and 5 of the best are not in it.
Joc Pederson - 30
Hunter Renfro - 26
Mike Trout - 26
Franmil Reyes - 25
Edwin Encarnacion - 24

But yet guys like, it a popularity contest?
Ronald Acuna JR - 20 home runs
Vladimir Guerrero JR - 8 home runs

Pederson is in

I believe it's player voted but I've been wrong before.

I very much dislike that anything "All Star" related is fan voted. I believe it should all be based on stats and/or player/coach voted.

Most of the real HR hitters don't participate because they could get hurt and they have nothing to prove. cheers

I've heard several pros say it messes up their swing to be in a h.r. derby.

Sorry was thinking of Cody Bellinger, he has 30.

But I can see where it would mess up your swing and timing.

They should bring Hamilton out of retirement once a year just for the derby

It was the only time that guy ever looked truly happy.

Mike a lot of the bigger names decided not to participate this year. They said some of them have experienced a second half slump due to adjusting their swing for the derby contest then can't get their groove back.

I saw that, I Matt Chapman has 21 dingers so far, plenty of other better hitters still left they could have chosen from.
