Arlington, TX

This year, Major League Baseball’s Home Run Derby took us to everyone’s favorite supersized garden shed: Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The contest featured veterans, such as two-time champion Pete Alonso, and five first-timers; classic Derby costars (a rambling horde of children sprinting to and fro in the outfield) and new ones (a rambling horde of gleeful Phillies). The Derby has given us a winner in Dodgers center fielder Teoscar Hernández, as well as seven losers. But that’s not all. Let’s take a look at this year’s Home Run Derby winners and losers.

The Pittsburgh Pirates will be entering the halfway point in a great position to fight for a playoff spot in the National League. While it is a team effort, much of their success could be credited to the phenomenal start to the season by rookie pitcher Paul Skenes. It's been a whirlwind of a year from Skenes. In 11 starts, Skenes is 6-0, with a 1.90 ERA, 89 strikeouts, and a 0.92 WHIP.
