The 2022 Home Run Derby is wrought with storylines: It's the last hurrah for Albert Pujols at the Derby, his fifth and final appearance before retirement. Still, Pujols is searching for his first victory despite being one of the event's most consistent entrants. Who isn't looking for his first victory is Pete Alonso — in fact, he's looking for his record-tying third victory, which would put him alongside Ken Griffey Jr. as the only two players with three Home Run Derby trophies. Alonso faces some tough competition, most of whom he's very familiar with: Juan Soto, Ronald Acuna and Kyle Schwarber, all NL East rivals, also take the field against Alonso. Rounding out the field is Mariners rookie Julio Rodriguez, Cleveland's Jose Ramirez, Rangers' Corey Seager and Pujols. Moonshots. Dingers. Bombs. Slamma-lamma ding dongs.
