Relay races. Outfield target practice. Bunting contests. None of these are happening this week in Los Angeles ... but they could! 👀 NickSelbe explains
None of these will be featured at Dodger Stadium on Monday night, when eight of the league’s biggest power threats step to the plate for the Home Run Derby. But as popular as dingers are, there’s room for creativity and imagination at the Midsummer Classic that, so far, has been left unexplored.
Among the players at this year’s All-Star Game, opinions were varied. Unsurprisingly, pitchers felt particularly aggrieved, and had some ideas to get more involved. Liam Hendriks also suggested for real pitchers to throw the Home Run Derby: “Make it a real experience.”By far the most popular idea thrown out was only a slight variation on what exists now: a pitchers-only home run derby. But there were other more outside-the-box suggestions that may or may not make for good TV, including : competitions for home run robberies, “best shift beater,” pitching accuracy, catcher framing and even off-hand throwing.
