Shohei Ohtani's Unpredictable Journey: Home Run Derby, Incredible Night, and Cracked Fingernail

Shohei Ohtani, the two-way Japanese superstar for the Los Angeles Angels, has yet to decide whether he will participate in the Home Run Derby on July 10. Ohtani, who leads the majors with 28 home runs, cited uncertainty about his pitching schedule as a factor in his decision. He has already secured his third straight All-Star start at designated hitter and participated in the 2021 Home Run Derby, but skipped last year's event due to pitching commitments.
