Juan Soto Will Compete In Home Run Derby
3 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto announced on his Twitter account on Wednesday that he will compete in the 2021 Home Run Derby next Monday at Coors Field. Soto is a first-time All-Star this year and has hit 10 home runs for the Nationals this year. In four major league seasons, the star outfielder has slugged 79 home runs. The 22-year-old would become the second Nationals player to win the Derby in the last three times it's been held, after Bryce Harper won it in 2018 in front of the home crowd in D.C. While he certainly has plenty of raw power from the left side of the plate, he probably will be considered one of the underdogs to win this event because he hasn't shown all that much power so far in 2021.
