Teoscar Hernández’s first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers was marked by impressive performances, including becoming the franchise’s first Home Run Derby champion. His remarkable statistics, comprising a .272 batting average, 33 home runs, and 99 RBIs, greatly increased his popularity in free agency, complicating the Dodgers’ efforts to retain him. Following a successful season, the team secured Hernández with a multi-year deal, hoping he can repeat his performance. However, uncertainties remain about his participation in the upcoming Home Run Derby as Hernández weighs his options for the All-Star Game.
"People maybe underestimate [me]. You can see it at the end when [Bobby Witt Jr.] was hitting all those homers. Everybody was [rooting] for him. But I'm here, [and I'm] as talented as all those guys over there."
"At the moment, I don't think I'm going to go, but I don't know if I'll change my mind. There is a chance. If I'm going to do it, I have to be in the All-Star Game. And for that to happen, I'm going to have to put up some numbers."
