Juan Soto is gearing up for a December fireworks show alongside Vladimir Guerrero Jr., they’ll headline a star-studded offseason Home Run Derby in Miami. According to Mike Mayer of Metsmerized, “Juan Soto will participate in a Home Run Derby fundraiser on Dec. 6 at loanDepot park…”.
The event will feature power hitters, making the fundraiser feel more like an All-Star Week encore. Soto launching balls into the upper deck alongside Guerrero Jr.’s violent swing and Fernando Tatis Jr.’s raw athleticism sets the stage for a highlight-reel night. Add José Ramírez and Ketel Marte, and every round could turn into a slugfest.
With the derby taking place in December, it gives baseball fans a rare MLB offseason treat and a preview of the monsters who will dominate next summer. Watching Soto compete with fellow elite sluggers at loanDepot Park should produce towering home runs and viral moments.
