Todd Frazier Will Defend His Home Run Derby Title

Last year, Todd Frazier crushed the competition and won the 2015 Home Run Derby at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati.

During the off-season, Frazier was traded to the Chicago White Sox, but he kept that sweet swing and is currently tied for the 2nd most homers in the AL and third in the entire league.

MLB has released the contestants and brackets for this year's Derby, to be played at PetCo Park in San Diego on Monday night.

It's impossible to really predict a Derby, but Frazier looks like he has a decent shot to repeat, or at least make the Finals. Trumbo leads the entire league in homers, and should be able to smash Seager. If we're going by distance/power/sheer beauty for homers, Stanton would crush everyone, but Cano has won a Derby in the past so this should be a fun matchup. Duvall & Myers might be a snoozer, but you can never count out the guy who is performing in front of the home fans. CarGo is a solid opponent, but he didn't make it out of the First Round when he competed in 2012.

Good luck Todd!

Frazier was born in Toms River and played on the 1998 Little League World Series Champion team. He also played baseball at Toms River High School South and Rutgers University before being drafted by the Cincinnati Reds. He was traded to the White Sox during the 2015 offseason.
