Home Run Derby at Citi Field: Who Ya Got?!

Power on display tonight in Flushing.

By Matthew Hampton

Monday night, Citi Field will play host to one of the great spectacles in sports — the Home Run Derby. 

The line-up this year, as always, features an impressive Murderer's Row of heavy hitters, with a couple of hometown favorites as captains to boot:

From the American League, the contestants are 

  • Robinson Cano, New York Yankees
  • Prince Fielder, Detroit Tigers
  • Chris Davis, Baltimore Orioles
  • Yoenis Cespedes, Oakland A's
From the National League, the contestants are
  • David Wright, New York Mets
  • Pedro Alvarez, Pittsburgh Pirates
  • Bryce Harper, Washington Nationals
  • Michael Cuddyer, Colorado Rockies
So who's your pick to really knock the ball out of the park 12 or 15 times? If I'm honest, I like Bryce Harper's chances myself.
