Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia is competing in the Home Run Derby for the second time in his career.
outfielder has been selected to participate in the 2024 T-Mobile Home Run Derby on Monday at Globe Life Field.
García, 31, this year will join Alex Rodriguez as the only players in club history to participate in multiple Home Run Derby competitions. He will also be the first Ranger ever to compete in a Home Run Derby hosted in Arlington, as Texas did not have a player partake in the 1995 Home Run Derby held at The Ballpark in Arlington. That year’s event was won by Chicago-AL’s Frank Thomas, who out-slugged Cleveland’s Albert Belle 3-to-2 in the final round.
The only players in club history to win a Home Run Derby are Ruben Sierra, who was co-champion of the 1989 event at Anaheim Stadium , and Juan Gonzalez, who won in 1993 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
