All Star Week. You ready?
Hey everyone. I am sorry I have not been writing in a while but this is one special post. The MLB All-Star week is here, and I cannot wait. Right now I am trying to convince my parents to let me stay up late for the Home Run Derby and the All Star Game!
Home Run Derby
Pete Alonso, the Mets' slugger, is trying to win his third title, but this year, there were some new players that are also really good. Alec Bohm from the Phillies this year has been launching MOONSHOTS, and the Baltimore Orioles shortstop, Gunnar Henderson has been doing great. I really hope we will see a new face holding the derby trophy.
All-Star Showdown!
This is going to be a cool game. American League vs. National League. I cannot wait for the pitching matchups, stolen bases, and the big hits! I'm hoping a very exiting game and for a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth, wouldn't that be cool?
Who to Watch?
There are so many amazing players to look out for. Shohei Ohtani, who is crushing it with almost 30 homers he might even hit a dinger in the game! And on the American League side, you gotta watch out for Juan Soto starting in RF he can make any play look easy.
My Prediction?
This is hard. The AL has some serious power with guys like Aaron Judge and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., but the NL has got that pitching edge. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the American League wins 7-5. But hey, that's just me!
What do you think is going to happen?
