As the top All-Star Game fan vote recipient in the National League, Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. secured a spot on the NL roster ahead of his peers. Now, he’s locked in to participating in the Home Run Derby for the second time in his career.
The 24-year-old announced Monday via his Instagram story that he would take the field at Dodger Stadium for the competition next Monday night. His announcement comes after Mets star Pete Alonso also committed to defend his back-to-back titles.
