Dingers. Bombs. Longballs. Slamma-lamma ding-dongs. Whatever you call them, MLB stars are here to deliver them in the 2018 MLB Home Run Derby.
Eight men will try to lay claim to this year’s title of “Baddest Masher in the Galaxy” when the Derby gets underway Monday in Washington.
The 2018 Home Run Derby Bracket is set.

My pick to win it all: Bryce Harper. He’s going to mash in front of his home-town fans, and that boy good.
I hope you’re ready for righteous dingers and epic moonshots — SN is, and we have you covered like a warm blanket.
