Hernandez, who will participate in the Home Run Derby on Monday in Texas, tried to simulate the experience before Saturday’s game at Comerica Park
The Dodgers’ Teoscar Hernandez, seen swinging against the Tigers on Friday, July 12, 2024, in Detroit, participates in the Home Run Derby on Monday in Arlington, Texas. An hour before game time Saturday at Comerica Park, the first-time Home Run Derby participant took the field to simulate the Derby as best he could, taking timed swings off Dodgers coach Dino Ebel, who will throw to him Monday at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
It was also a scouting session for Ebel, who will be making his fourth Derby appearance – he threw to Vladimir Guerrero and Albert Pujols during his days as an Angels coach and Joc Pederson with the Dodgers. Both warned him about the fatigue factor of all those power swings. Ohtani “said he was tired at the end. That’s because it was in Colorado.”
“I’m trying to keep my same swing. Not to overswing or try to overpower anything because I know if I can touch the ball with a good angle it’s going to go,” Hernandez said. “I’m going to try to be nice and easy and not overswing so I can not mess up my swing.”
