Building a dream Home Run Derby field: Ronald Acuña Jr., Aaron Judge, Elly De La Cruz and more

Home Run Derby will take place at Truist Park, Braves’ House, Monday, July 14. We are at the time a week away. We know a part of the field so far, but we still don’t have the full eight men’s band.

Reality is not fun. What if we had to choose eight players and they were all ready for participants? No injuries, there is no need to relax not to be better plans. Who will be the ideal field for Derby 2025? Let’s run through it.

Ronald Acuña Junior, Bold

My No. 1 rule is every year that we need a host team applicant. I always believed it, but it is more important that in this era of this era it is a board. In any case, it builds excitement, but the crowd works in a fury when it is their boy. My favorite Derby has ever been to 2015 in the American Publisher in Incinati, and it was why the victorie was standing in the crowd, then – Reds Slugger Todd Frazier.

With the brave this season, it is an easy choice for me. Acuña won the MVP in 2023 and had 41 bombs, the second career in that season, 40+ HR season. He has laid nine in 40 games this year. And like the temptation for the dramatics. He was caused by his knee surgery in his first instance.

Acuña has already been announced as a 2025 Derby Participant, so we are good here.

Being easy and obvious does not deny the justification of choice. There is a reason that he is an easy and obvious choice. The judge is in the middle of the force we rarely seen MLB History: He is one of the 10 players in history with two 58+ home-season. She is five of the five seasons to be at least 52 homers by joining Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Alex Rodriguez. These facts do not yet include this season, when he now has 32 and, of course, 50 tops 50 again. A judge may have the most in baseball in terms of raw strength.

Another easy and obvious choice. Ohtani led Al in Homers in 2023, last season, 54 and lasts 30 this time. Alas

This is still my ideal / dream field and we love to dream.

The big Dumper is MLB The leader in 35 people and there is extra fun there because he is a hunter. That Catcher Record is going to get a 48 house running in Seattle this season. How ridiculous is that?

The ball of Rally’s house unequivocally harms him. If he played every game at T-Mobile Park this season, he would have 31 homers for each baseball savings. If he played for each game in the Health Park of Sacramento Lies, where he now calls home home. He will have 40.

Hamw, it seems that Raleigh is going to become the first hunter that will ever reach 50 homer, and it’s so incredibly fun that we need us in Derby. And he is in it. It deserves well and I hope he puts a show. It’s a Dumper summer.

Lefty-swinging PCA is one of the least electric players in the league. He received a defensive range, for the cannon, at the speed of armchairs and, yes, homework. He is collecting 23 people from this season and is on the PACE to reach 40-40. As a developing superstar, this is the type of showcases to have more eyes on her talent. Also, it’s an easy sale point, usually the player that makes $ 740,000 a season to have shots for a million dollars.

If we talk about electric players who are incredibly fun to view it doesn’t get better than de la cruz. 6-Foot-5 switch-hit had 25 Houber last season and is in place this year with 18. I mentioned marketing several times, and again, de la cruz, is the interesting, young talent type MLB should be displayed. Unfortunately, de la Cruz rejected the invitation of this year’s Derby, but I hope we see him one day. He is in my dream field.

Cruz is legally the most difficult kick in all baseball baseball. We know that the speed of that bat may now be measured. It means that when he runs one is a thing of beauty. Of course, you will find balls that hit Cruz from the highest exit speed chart every year. There is a level of debate on how important it is in regular seasonal games, but there is no need to debate the merits when it comes to home launch. He would smack some balls to stratosphere.

The wood is in the real Derby field this season, and I liked the choice that I stay here in the field of this dream. 6-legged-7-year-old Superstar has 23 homer and his grandiest, the failure in Derby will be very aesthetically pleasing. He hits the ball as difficult as each of his 23rd house, and 12, this season, presented as “no doubts.”
