Shohei Ohtani makes history with announcement of Home Run Derby participation https://t.co/8Pys3fAwp8
RT @ESPNStatsInfo: Shohei Ohtani will be the first pitcher ever to compete in the HR Derby, as well as the first Japanese-born participant.
Ohtani has 11 homers this season of 425 feet, the most in MLB. https://t.co/77AyeZFLta
As you'd expect, Shohei Ohtani is the first starting pitcher to ever participate in a Home Run Derby.
There have been 10 previous HR Derby participants to appear in the mound in a major league game, all as position players pitching.
The precedent has been set, as #Angels point out: In 2016, Shohei Ohtani was the winner of the Nippon Professional Baseball Home Run Derby before Game 1 of the All-Star Series. The next day, he earned MVP honors in Game 2 of the All-Star Series as the DH for the Pacific League.

The Home Run Derby field could be absolutely epic: defending champion Pete Alonso; Shohei Ohtani; Vlad Jr.? Acuña Jr.? Tatis, Jr.? Juan Soto?
Shohei Ohtani, the first Japanese-born participant to compete in the Home Run Derby, won the HR derby in 2016 in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball League. It's possible now to see him start the All-Star Game as a DH, pitch in the game,and win the HR derby, all within 24 hours
