One of the most electric home-run hitters in the MLB is Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani. However, fans will have to temper their expectations as to him participating in this year's MLB Home Run Derby in Atlanta in July.

Todd Raleigh, who will pitch to Cal Raleigh in the Home Run Derby, coached the Vols from 2008-11. At Tennessee, he compiled a 108-113 (42-78 SEC) record in four seasons. Todd Raleigh went to Tennessee after serving as head coach at Western Carolina from 2000-07. He compiled a 257–209 (132–101 SoCon) record with the Catamounts.

Raleigh: “It will be extra special for me getting to do it in Atlanta, where I spent a lot of time playing baseball as a kid.”
