In the Statcast Era, you've needed to be in the top four in Blast rate to win the Home Run Derby.

Pete Alonso was in the top four among derby contestants in this stat when we checked before his win in 2021, and second among the contestants when he won in 2019. It would give those kids out in the outfield a real workout.” Usually, it’s one of the favorites — in a three-year stretch heading into 2019, 65 percent of the matchups were won by the higher seed. Here’s the one that went the furthest. “He could really hit.” “Hyun-Jin Ryu always had good pop,” said Ross Stripling, who ended up in Toronto with his old teammate. “Absolutely I’d want in, I got some BP pop for sure,” said Cease, who relished the fact he wasn’t supposed to hear about it. “The only one that has a chance to beat me is Miles,” Wainwright asserted, “because he can go autopilot if the pitcher is throwing exactly in his spot. So if you throw it in that spot, he can go autopilot: homer, homer, homer, homer. “ Logan Webb has stupid pop.” And Ohtani for sure.” Would a couple rounds of a home run derby between pitchers scratch that itch?

We go over our favorite picks for the HR derby with odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

He has 24 home runs heading into the break and has put on absolute clinics in his last two derby appearances. The first is that they are hitting these shots off of batting practice and don’t have the added exit velocity from pitches that are faster. Alonso has only appeared in two home run derbys and leads all competitors in the event's history with 131 home runs. The first home run hit at the stadium was by first baseman Willie Stargell, and it went 506 feet in 1965. Seager also has the most experience playing at Dodger Stadium, which could give him an edge. This year, the derby will feature Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber, Ronald Acuna Jr., Juan Soto, Corey Seager, Julio Rodriguez, Jose Ramirez and Albert Pujols. The 2022 Home Run Derby will start at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, July 18, from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.

Jesse Yomtov: Pete Alonso – Chalk and deservedly so. Gabe Lacques: Pete Alonso: It’s always tempting to stray from the chalk pick, but nobody is better built and duly motivated to win this thing than the two-time champ. He hit 74 home runs in last year's event at Coors Field and his 131 career derby homers are more than any player in history.

The T-Mobile Home Run Derby is happening tonight! The field features a downright electric mix of young and old, power and skill, past, present and future.

But this is his first Derby, and his first All-Star Game, and really his first everything. Seager got off to a slow start this year, but no one remembers that now: He’s got 21 homers and is on quite a roll. Ramírez has resisted being in the Derby in the past, but this could be the sort of high-profile event that may finally get the rest of the baseball world to realize just how great he truly is. And he’s been hitting the ball a lot harder in the days heading into the All-Star Game: He’s hot right now. Seager was the last addition to the Derby, his first since his Rookie of the Year campaign in 2016. His slugging percentage is lower than it has been during any season of his career, and he still might not be 100 percent recovered from the knee injury that cost him most of last season (and part of this one). Acuña is electric, but I’m not sure he’s a high-priority pick here. First off: It’s awesome that Rodríguez is a part of this. It’s awesome that he’s a part of this All-Star Game at all. In retrospect, it’s a travesty that Schwarber has only been in one of these. Was Alonso invented solely for the Home Run Derby? Mets fans who have been enjoying Alonso leading them to a first-place team at the All-Star break may disagree, but from the outside, Alonso has everything you’d want: Prodigious power, obviously, but also swagger, showmanship, consistency (you have to do it for three rounds after all) and a clear understanding of the moment. Schwarber made the finals in 2018, losing by one homer to current teammate Bryce Harper. But as good as that version of Schwarber was, this one is better. The field features a downright electric mix of young and old, power and skill, past, present and future.

But in the end, he will get respect for having pushed the top seed ... but not the W he desires. And the longest: Schwarber is going to crack a 522-foot home run. Gonzalez: I have him shocking everybody by defeating Schwarber, the NL's home run leader, in the first round. Gonzalez: Acuna is averaging 437 feet per home run this season, the longest in the majors. Schoenfield: It's the year of the Mariners! Rodriguez has been on fire, and he's not lacking in confidence. He's the most prolific home run hitter on the planet. With his victory over Seager, Rodriguez is the first Mariner to advance to the semifinals of the Derby since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1998. Soto has been scorching hot this month and will dethrone Pete Alonso in the finals. Gonzalez: Soto was not happy to be thrown into trade rumors right before the All-Star break, and this is the perfect place for the game's best pure hitter to channel his anger. Not for Julio Rodriguez. The 21-year-old phenom put together one of the most impressive rounds in Home Run Derby history, finishing with 32 home runs. He started out hitting a series of high fly balls that scraped over the fence, transitioned into some low screaming liners that cleared the fence, then starting bashing a few that cleared the whole dang stadium. Midway through his round he was in trouble, struggling to find that perfect launch angle and instead hitting low liners that were falling short of the warning track.

Pete Alonso and Kyle Schwarber are two of the top contenders in this year's home run hitting contest.

The oldest of those seven hitters, Ramírez, was only 8 years old when Pujols hit his first MLB home run in April 2001. He crushed 31 more home runs in Round 2 against the reigning champ Alonso, becoming the first hitter in Home Run Derby history to post back-to-back 30-homer rounds … and the first with multiple 30-homer rounds in one Derby … and the first with multiple 30-homer Derby rounds, period. Pujols entered the 2022 Derby with 71 career Derby homers, which was eighth all-time at the time. • Soto is the second Nationals star to win the Home Run Derby in the last five years. • Rodríguez, the Mariners rookie phenom, got the Derby started with 32 home runs, the second-most homers in a Derby first round. Per ESPN, that made him the first player in Derby history to advance past the opening round five times. ,"type":"markdown","__typename":"Markdown"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20":{"contentDate":"2022-07-19T02:58:29.953Z","description":"Albert Pujols gets an ovation from the All-Star players prior to his bonus time in the first round of the 2022 T-Mobile Home Run Derby","duration":"00:00:46","slug":"pujols-gets-ovation-in-1st-round","source":null,"tags":[{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20.tags.0","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20.tags.1","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20.tags.2","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20.tags.3","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20.tags.4","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20.tags.5","typename":"Tag"}],"templateUrl":"https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/private/{formatInstructions}/mlb/zjm3d2sqmb0o6fin6tbe","title":"Pujols gets ovation in 1st round","type":"video","url":"/video/pujols-gets-ovation-in-1st-round","__typename":"Video"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20.tags.0":{"slug":"teamid-138","title":"St. Louis Cardinals","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20.tags.1":{"slug":"playerid-405395","title":"Albert Pujols","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20.tags.2":{"slug":"home-run-derby","title":"Home Run Derby","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20.tags.3":{"slug":"all-star","title":"All-Star","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20.tags.4":{"slug":"cut-4","title":"Cut4","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.20.tags.5":{"slug":"imagen-feed","title":"Imagen feed","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"facts-and-figures-from-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.21":{"content":"• Pujols was truly a generation apart from the rest of his competitors. • The best moment of the first round might have been the 42-year-old Pujols knocking off No. 1 seed Kyle Schwarber, 20-19, after a one-minute tiebreaker round.

Julio Rodríguez hit 81 homers, and Albert Pujols had a memorable moment, but Juan Soto took home the hardware.

Ridiculous effort tonight from the 21-year-old Rodríguez. He wasn't previously that well known, nationally, among casual fans, but that should start changing with tonight's Derby. He has 10 homers and has earned a minute of bonus time. As things are, though, Alonso remains one just four players, along with Griffey Jr., Prince Fielder and Yoenis Céspedes, to win multiple Derbies. Given how much Alonso seems to enjoy participating and how seriously he takes it ( deadlifts! Alonso won the 2019 Derby and then prevailed again last year. In defiance of those expectations, however, Pujols edged Schwarber and advanced past the first round. At 42 years and 183 days old, Albert Pujols was, by a substantial margin, the oldest Home Run Derby participant ever. Alonso had won the event in 2019 and 2021 (there was no Home Run Derby in 2020) and was looking to become the first player ever to win three Derbies in a row. He's now the second-youngest player ever to win the Derby, behind only Juan Gonzalez. Cardinals legend Albert Pujols stole the show earlier in the night. Rodríguez had a bit of a coming out party before running into Soto in the finals. It's the first Derby title for Soto, who has been the subject of trade rumors in recent days. Juan Soto, one of the best hitters in Major League Baseball, added to his already-lengthy resume on Monday night.

Pete Alonso and Kyle Schwarber are two of the top contenders in this year's home run hitting contest.
