While mic’d up for his team’s clash against the Giants on Sunday Night Baseball, ESPN’s Karl Ravech asked Mets slugger Pete Alonso if he’d be participating in this year’s Home Run Derby.
“Selfishly, Pete, I’m sitting up here and I’m thinking, ‘Alonso, All-Star Game.’ Can we do the other thing? Is that something you might want to consider?” asked Ravech.
“I will be participating in the 2023 Home Run Derby,” Alonso said. “You can count me in guys. I’m super stoked to do it, it’s a super-talented field. It’s going to be a great competition, I think this one’s going to be one to remember.”
