The bracket format is simple and will see some new matchups that are sure to delight, with some players you may not have expected to see here when the season started. Luis Robert Jr. will face Adley Rutschman to kick things off, with the winner squaring up again the winner of Adolis Garcia vs. Randy Arozarena.
On the other side, two-time winner Pete Alonso will face Julio Rodriguez and we'll undoubtedly see some of the hottest action in this event. The winner there will go on to meet the Mookie Betts vs Vladamir Guerror Jr matchup winner – another battle of two huge hitters.
No matter how you look at it, the home run derby is always quite the spectacle for MLB fans, and 2023 will be no different. We'll see power hitters do what they do best as they hope to claim the ultimate bragging rights.
