The competition, which not only highlights light-tower power but defense as well, is a showdown between four co-ed teams of three.
Each team has a former Major League star, a women’s baseball or softball standout, and a local player who is ready to show off their skills and take on some pros.
– Each batter gets two minutes and 30 seconds to take as many swings as possible.
– They get one point for every home run — with an extra point being awarded for a ball that flies through the outfield target.
– During each at-bat, hitters can call for a “hot streak.” They’ll get double points for every ball they hit during the hot streak.
– The defense can make plays, too. For every ball they catch, they earn one point. If it’s during a hot streak? They get two.
Here are the rosters for the four teams — each donning one of the Sounds’ iconic identities — that will be taking the field this Friday night.
One of the fiercest power hitters in the game during his time, Álvarez set the then-single-season record for home runs at Vanderbilt (22), has thesecond-most in school history and led the National League with 36 home runs in 2013. The second-overall Draft pick by the Pirates in 2008, Álvarez hit 162 career big league home runs, winning a Silver Slugger Award and earning election to the 2013 All-Star Game.
After his big league career ended, Álvarez returned to Vanderbilt before graduating in 2022 as a dean’s list student with a major in Medicine, Health and Society.
The reigning Athletes Unlimited softball winner, Lorenz finished the season tied for the batting title with a .373 average while adding three home runs. Before that, Lorenz was a star softball player at the University of Florida, winning the NFCA National Freshman of the Year Award in 2016, taking home the SEC Player of the Year honor in 2018 and she was a four-time First team All-American.
Currently working in event operations with Brand Builders Group, Lubinski said, “I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to possibly hit homers with MLB players I grew up watching. This is a bucket-list type of event.” Born and raised in St. Louis, but currently living in Nashville, Lubinski set his college single-game RBI record with a multi-HR game and currently plays for the Nashville Dollys, a local men’s league team with impeccable branding.
Stott is the current GM of the Pro5 Baseball academy and a respected force in international baseball. A former UNC Wilmington college player, Stott has held clinics in Germany, Hungary, Spain, Austria, Slovakia among others and helped coach the Czech National Team at the 2019 European Championships.
He was the pitcher for the winning team at Albuquerque last week.
The most outgoing person in sports, Swisher played for five big league teams but is perhaps best known for his time in Yankees pinstripes. Swisher won the 2009 World Series, was elected to the 2010 All-Star Game and, oh yeah, has also appeared in the popular shows “How I Met Your Mother,” and “Sweet Magnolias.”
Another veteran from HRDX’s first campaign in ’22, Hugo has won ballgames and accolades wherever she’s gone. The only two-time US Sportswoman of the Year Award winner, Hugo recently represented Team USA at the Women’s Baseball World Cup, where the team won silver. A former softball star at the University of Georgia and in the National Pro Fastpitch league, Hugo helped the U.S. win gold at the 2019 Pan-American Championships and earned the Most Valuable Player Award at last year’s World Cup group stage.
A veteran of the Big League World Series, Holbrook took the mound in the championship game as a teenager. Having moved across fives states over the last six years, Holbrook was an infield star in JUCO and NAIA ball before becoming a pitcher for Colorado Springs in the Pecos League. Now Holbrook is an instructor at Nashville’s D-Bat facility.
A four-year standout at Gardner-Webb University, Kunz collected All-American and First-Team All Conference player awards during his stay there. Kunz hit .319 with 11 home runs in his senior season before being selected by the Angels in the 2019 Draft. The youngest BP pitcher at HRDX, Kunz now coaches at Pro5 Baseball Academy.
Kunz was on the mound to help Hugo and the rest of the Fort Wayne Tenderloins take home the title.
“Manny being Manny” is back! The legendary slugger with one of the sweetest right-handed swings in baseball history returns to compete in HRDX Nashville. The native of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, played 19 seasons and finished his career with a .312 average and 555 home runs — 15th most in big league history.
Ramirez made his HRDX debut in Albuquerque, clubbing 11 home runs and scoring 20 points.
When talking home runs, you can begin and end with Alo. The Oklahoma Sooners superstar won two Women’s College World Series titles with the team and finished as the all-time NCAA leader — among men and women — in home runs with 122, total bases (761) and slugging percentage (.987). She helped the Red Sox win HRDX 2022, earned Sports Illustrated’s Female Athlete of the Year Award that same year, and was selected first overall by the Smash It Vipers in the Women’s Professional Fastpitch draft.
Alo has hit the longest home run in HRDX history and hit 23 home runs in her appearance in Fort Wayne before adding 14 more in Albuquerque.
2024 is a big year for Bowers: Not only will he be competing in HRDX, but Bowers was recently inducted into the Red Hawk Hall of Fame at Creek Wood High School for his performance on the diamond. A season ticket holder for the Sounds, Bowers is “most excited for the atmosphere [and] the pressure of performing and hitting in front of 10,000-plus fans.”
Jauss just may be the man you want to call when hosting a home run derby. A near-constant presence at the MLB HR Derby as one of the pitchers to help deliver a title to Pete Alonso, Jauss has done practically any and everything in his 40-plus year career in pro baseball. His greatest accomplishment may have come in 2004, though: That year he was the advance scout for the Boston Red Sox when they broke an 86-year championship drought.
Jones introduced himself to America with a home run: The then 19-year-old made history as the youngest player to homer in a World Serieswhen he went deep in the 1996 Fall Classic … then followed that with a home run in his very next AB. The Willemstad, Curacao, native was a true all-around threat, finishing his career with 434 home runs, 152 stolen bases and a remarkable 10 Gold Glove Awards. His No. 25 is now retired by the Braves.
This is Jones’ HRDX debut.
A HRDX veteran since 2022, Lansdell has seen and done it all on the ballfield. A trailblazing infielder, Lansdell made the USA Baseball roster at just 17 years old in 2018 and was the first woman to play baseball at the NJCAA level in 2021. After switching her focus to softball, she played at FIU for two seasons before recently announcing her transfer to Ole Miss ahead of next season.
Lansdell also entered this year leading all women’s HRDX players with 82 dingers.
Marshburn knows hitting: How else would the USSSA softball standout have his own Louisville Slugger model available around the country? Currently a member of the US Men’s National Slowpitch Softball Team, Marshburn has also suited up for Pitt Community College, UNC-Wilmington and the Lake Erie Crushers of the Frontier League.
Now the owner of All-Star Landscaping, Marshburn is looking forward to “hitting home runs and making some plays.”
The Reds pitching coach from 2016-18, Jenkins helped oversee the development of future stars like starter Luis Castillo and closer Raisel Iglesias. He also has a pretty unique highlight: He broke up the longest winning streak in American professional baseball history when he snapped the Salt Lake Trappers’ 29-game winning streak while in the Minor Leagues in 1987. He’s now a coach for the Pro5 Baseball Academy.
