Ronald Acuña Jr. to participate in Home Run Derby

Acuña is the first player to announce he will be participating in the Home Run Derby. This is the third time he’s competed in the event. In both 2019 and 2022, he lost to Pete Alonso, who went on to win the Home Run Derby in 2019, the first of two times he’s won the event.

On July 14th, Acuña will attempt to become the first Braves player ever to win the Home Run Derby, and what better place to end that streak than at home in Truist Park.
