Shohei Ohtani, who leads the NL in homers, won't participate in the Home Run Derby due to his continue rehab from offseason surgery.
Shohei Ohtani won't participate in the Home Run Derby on July 15 despite the Japanese superstar ranking second in the majors with 27 homers for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ohtani has taken part in the Derby just once, exiting in the first round in 2021 at Coors Field in Denver. This year's event is at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
Ohtani blasted a two-run shot that traveled 433 feet to right-center in the seventh inning of the Dodgers' 6-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. He is second to New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge, who has a major league-leading 32 homers this season. Ohtani went 3 for 5 with two runs and two RBIs against the D-backs. He's hitting .380 in the leadoff spot since Mookie Betts broke his hand on June 16.
