Phillies slugger, 1st National Leaguer to confirm, joins Baltimore’s Gunnar Henderson

6:35 PM UTC

Alec Bohm has been a doubles machine so far in 2024, but now the Phillies slugger will attempt to up his game just for the fun of it.

Bohm announced on Friday that he’ll participate in the T-Mobile Home Run Derby at 8 p.m. ET on July 15 on ESPN, during the All-Star festivities in Arlington. Though he’s never been a prolific home run hitter — his career high in a season is 20 in 2023 — the righty definitely has pop. Four of his 11 homers this season have traveled 415 feet or more, and nine of the 11 have been hit with an exit velocity of 101.9 mph or better.

Bohm’s longest homer of 2024 came on June 30, a blast off the Marlins’ Yonny Chirinos that traveled 427 feet to left-center field at Citizens Bank Park. That was also his hardest-hit dinger of the season — it had an exit velocity of 106.8 mph.

This won’t be Bohm’s first Derby, however, as he won the 2016 Coastal Plain League event while playing for the Wilmington Sharks.
