Only Harper, Schwarber, and Caminero have ever participated in the MLB Home Run Derby before. The other five guys are all derby rookies.

Schwarber currently leads the entire MLB in home runs with 32, while Rice (29) and Caminero (28) are third and fourth.

Caglianone is the only player in the field who hasn’t hit at least 20 long balls this season. The sophomore had seven in 62 games as a rookie. But he’s been red-hot of late, mashing nine of those 14 dingers in the month of June. The 6’4 lefty is tied for the lead in average home run distance, according to ESPN. At 250 pounds, he’s tied for the heaviest player in the field alongside Walker.

Harper is the lightest contestant, listed at 210 pounds. Murakami (213 lbs) is the only other slugger who doesn’t crack 220.

Harper’s prior derby win came in familiar circumstances. The 2018 edition took place at National Ballpark when Harper was still donning scarlet red.
