LOS ANGELES >> The stars will be out for the 2022 Home Run Derby, the first time the event has ever been held at Dodger Stadium.

Defending Derby champion Pete Alonso of the New York Mets is looking to join Ken Griffey Jr. as the only three-time winners in the event’s history and the first to win it three consecutive times. Seventh-seeded Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. will be his opponent in the first round. Alonso, seeded No. 2 this year, ousted Acuña in the opening round of the eight-man bracket-style competition in 2019.

Alonso homered three times during last month’s four-game series at Chavez Ravine and is the first player in the 60-year history of Dodger Stadium to go deep seven times in his first 11 games played here.

No Dodgers or Angels will participate in the event, but former Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager and St. Louis Cardinals designated hitter Albert Pujols, a former Dodger and Angel, will both participate.
