Juan Soto announces that he will participate in the Home Run Derby next week. Nationals hitting coach Kevin Long will throw to him.

Look out, thin air.

Be a real shame if Soto messed up his swing. Oh wait.

So many violent swings to further aggravate his shoulder as some on here believe it is a lingering issue.

Schwarber explained why he would not want to take part in Home Run Derby, and especially in the final "all you can hit in a couple minutes". Roughly, changes your swing and wears you down.

To each his own. I think there are plenty of guys who have participated and gone to final rounds who have been fine after it.

It's like a besbol casino buffet.  Best possible outcome is, well, pretty bad.

Tres Berrera and Trea Turner might have something to say about the single-handedness of the effort.
