<p>Among the list of eight participants is a well-known veteran, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/top-10-mlb-batting-average-in-2022-20220502-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Albert Pujols</a></strong> who is currently sharing a record with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/what-is-the-fastest-pitch-ever-thrown-in-mlb-20220502-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miguel Cabrera</a></strong>, but that’s another story. But Pujols has never won a derby home run before.</p>
<p>The last time Pujols came close to winning a derby <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/top-10-mlb-winning-pitchers-in-2022-20220502-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">home run</a></strong> was in 2003 when he reached the derby final and lost to Garrett Anderson 8-9 but during that year he was the player with the most home runs although it was not enough to win.</p>
<p>On the other hand there is the young blood of<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/top-10-mlb-rbi-leaders-in-2022-20220502-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Ronald Acuña Jr,</a></strong> he is a valuable underdog who could become a favorite if his performance during the first round is good. But against so many favorites and defending champion Pete Alonso, Ronald is unlikely to win this year.</p>
<h2>The 2022 MLB Home Run Derby participants</h2>
<p>Number one on the list is <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/how-the-mlb-doubleheaders-work-in-2022-20220420-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pete Alonso </a></strong>as he is the defending champion for the last two editions and if Alonso wins this year he could set a record for the longest winning streak in the derby. Alonso is one of the top 10 home run leaders in the current regular season.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Pete Alonso</strong></li>
<li><strong>Kyle Schwarber</strong></li>
<li><strong>Juan Soto</strong></li>
<li><strong>Ronald Acuna Jr.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Julio Rodriguez</strong></li>
<li><strong>Corey Seager</strong></li>
<li><strong>Jose Ramirez</strong></li>
<li><strong>Albert Pujols</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>The Underdogs are obviously Jose Ramirez, Albert Pujols and Corey Seager but the latter could be one of the best underdogs in the derby along with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/this-will-be-the-first-mlb-team-to-wear-an-sponsor-patch-on-their-uniform-20220419-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ronald Acuña Jr and Julio Rodriguez</strong></a>. The National League has won the last three derby games, while the AL last won when Aaron Judge won the title in 2017. </p>

<p>This season Pujols is still showing he can go a few more years with an OBP of .324 and 4 home runs with 18 hits and 15 RBIs. La Maquina still has fuel in the tank although San Diego Padres shortstop <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/manny-machado-is-making-6m-less-than-anthony-rendon-20220511-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Manny Machado</strong></a> believes that the MLB have not given Pujols the respect they have shown others.</p>
<p>Speaking to the St. Louis Post Dispatch Machado gave his thoughts on the matter and why he believes <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/Top-25-most-dominating-MLB-hitters-of-the-decade-20200508-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Albert Pujols</a> deserves the farewell tour that Derek Jeter and David Ortiz received.</p>
<h2>Manny Machado on Albert Pujols retiring</h2>
<p><strong><em>“It’s kind of (bovine dung) that teams are not giving him a farewell tour,” Machado stated. “I’ll tell you that right now. Why? Albert has been the best player in our generation to ever play this game, and to see him doing the things he’s doing — I mean, it’s just unbelievable. It’s freaking special that St. Louis gave him the opportunity to come back here and finish off his career as a Cardinal.”</em></strong></p>

<p>Pujols may not have the chance to make it to 700 career home runs but to many the first baseman turned DH was one of the best if not the best ball player in the 2000s.</p>
<p><strong>While not totally being ignored Pujols did receive standing ovations while on road games against the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets. </strong></p>

<p>One of the <strong>few exclusive clubs</strong> in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-2022-top-10-pitchers-for-the-upcoming-regular-season-20220402-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>MLB</strong></a> is the<strong> 3,000 hit club</strong> with members since 1897 and with an established record of 4,256 hits that no one has yet been able to break. The 20th century was the time when most of the members joined the club, and in the 21st century, <strong>after almost 22 years only nine members could join.</strong></p>
<p>For now only <strong>Pujols is the only 3,000 hit club member active playing in MLB</strong> for the<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-2022-top-5-projected-rotations-for-the-upcoming-regular-season-20220402-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> St. Louis Cardinals</a></strong> as a designated hitter. But the <strong>42-year-old Pujols is close to the end of his career</strong>, although it is likely that he will play another season or two before retiring.</p>
<p>In the 21st century, very <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-playoff-format-2022-how-will-the-baseball-postseason-be-played-20220311-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">few players</a></strong> were able to go over 3,100 hits, <strong>only three players managed to score a little more than the mark,</strong> Jeter with 3,465, Alex Rodriguez with 3,115, and Cal Ripken Jr with 3,184 hits.</p>
<h2>Who is the upcoming 3,000 hit club member?</h2>
<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-playoff-format-2022-how-will-the-baseball-postseason-be-played-20220311-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miguel Cabrera</a> is close to joining the exclusive club as he needs only 4 hits to reach 3,000 hits</strong>. Most of Cabrera’s hits have been as the Tigers although he played five years with the Florida Marlins from 2003 to 2007, but from 2008 onwards Cabrera is part of the Detroit Tigers.</p>
<p>Cabrera also has another record, <strong>the 500 home runs club</strong>, so far he has 502 home runs in addition to almost two thousand runs. Cabrera was also named an 11x All-Star and was a one-time <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/how-to-watch-and-live-stream-the-2022-mlb-games-in-the-united-states-20220416-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Series Champion</a> with the Marlins in 2003.</strong></p>
<h2>How many mlb players have 3,000 hits?</h2>
<p><strong>32 players are members of the 3,000 hit club</strong>, most of them joined the club in the 20th century, and Pete Rose set the record for hits with a total of 4,256 that so far no one has been able to break, only Ty Cobb was able to come close to that number with a total of 4,189 hits.</p>

<p>In a somewhat shocking turn of events, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-angels-t114385" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Angels</strong> </a>decided to designate <strong>Albert Pujols</strong> for assignment. It was kind of surprising considering that this was expected to be his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/albert-pujols-opens-up-on-retirement-reveals-whos-the-best-hitter-in-mlb-20210305-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">final season</a> in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Major League Baseball</strong></a>after<strong> 20 years in<em> The Big Show.</em></strong></p>
<p>Pujols had signed a<strong> 10-year, 253 million </strong>deal with the Angels back in 2012 and, even though he wasn’t nearly half as productive over the past couple of seasons as he was earlier in his career, he’s still a marquee name around the league.</p>
<p><em><strong>“The Angels organization proudly signed Albert in 2011, and are honored that he was worn the Angels jersey for nearly half of his<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/the-top-7-mlb-home-run-kings-20210218-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Hall-of-Fame career</a>,” </strong></em>said team owner <strong>Arte Moreno</strong> via the team’s social media accounts.</p>

<h2>Angels’ Front Office Decided To Bench Pujols</h2>
<p>However, it seems like there was a bit of a rift between the Dominican legend and the front office. Apparently, they made the decision not to put him in against<strong> Ryan Yarbrough,</strong> knowing that it would infuriate him:</p>
<p><em>“According to source, #Angels slugger Albert Pujols<strong> was upset t</strong>hat he wasn’t in lineup to face #Rays bulk LHP Ryan Yarbrough last night, and that the decision to bench him came from front office, not MGR Joe Maddon. Pujols was 6 for 9 with 2 HR, 2 2Bs, 7 RBIs vs. Yarbough,”</em> reported <strong>Mike DiGiovanna.</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>Pujols and the Angels had reportedly reached an agreement. Albert told them that, unless he was allowed to play regularly, he would much rather be released from the team and pursue <strong>another chance elsewhere.</strong></p>
<p>Now, <strong>Yadier Molina</strong> is reportedly advocating for him to come back to the <strong>St. Louis Cardinals,</strong> the team where he won a couple of <strong>World Series titles</strong> and became one of the greatest hitters of all time.</p>
<p>Whether he’ll join the Cardinals or not, we hope that he gets the last chance to prove his worth. The game and the league owe him way too much to just let him walk away after such a <strong>remarkable career.</strong></p>

<p>Most rumors claim that <strong>Albert Pujols</strong> is finally ready to call it quits after this season. That would be fitting, as he’s been around<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>Major League Baseball</strong></a> for the past 20 years and all good things eventually come to an end.</p>
<p>Pujols is one of the greatest sluggers of all time, one of the <strong>most intimidating players </strong>to ever set foot on the plate, and one of the most beloved teammatEs and persons any other player could think of.</p>
<p>That’s why it was suchhuge praise when he said that<strong> Miguel Cabrera</strong> is the best hitter he’s ever faced during a long interview with<strong> USA Today, </strong>adding that<strong> Mike Trout </strong>is the best overall player he’s ever seen:<em><strong>“Miguel Cabrera, the best hitter by far,” </strong></em>Pujols said.<span></span></p>

<h2>Albert Pujols Says He’s Still Undecided On Retirement</h2>
<p>Then again, what people really want to know about Pujols right now is whether he’ll retire or not. And while most indications point towards a farewell, he said <strong>he’s still not fully committed to that idea:</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>“I’ll make that decision at the end of the year.</strong> And when that timecomes that I do retire, it won’t be on Instagram or anything like that. My fans deserve better than that. I’ll have a press conference so everyone knows at once. But my mind isn’t going there right now,” </em>the former <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/st.-louis-cardinals-t113958" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cardinals </a>star said.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Pujols claims that he has no regrets about his career and that’s only right. I mean, he’s a 2-time <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Series</a> champion</strong> with a flawless résumé, so why should he have any kind of regret?</p>
<p>Thus far, the Dominican has made it to 10 All-Star Games, he’s won 3 National League MVPs, 6 Silver Slugger awards, 2 Gold Glove awards, and has logged <strong>over 3,200 career hits </strong>with a lifetime average of .299.</p>

Albert Pujols opens up on retirement, reveals who's the best hitter in MLB

Albert Pujols opens up on retirement, reveals who's the best hitter in MLB - Bolavip US

<p>Hitting a home run is meant to be tough, as the ball literally has to be hit out of the park as high as 420 feet. Today many <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a> players are groomed to be able to hit the ball long distances, in the 1980’s it was extremely uncommon to hit 20 home runs in a single season, that has changed as statistically speaking <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/15-biggest-mlb-rivalries-of-all-time-20200727-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a> players are hitting more home runs. In 2000, the total home runs hit in the MLB were 5,693, in 2019 it was 6,776, so players on average are hitting the ball out of the park more and more. Still, there are players in different eras who simply were masters at hitting home runs.</p>
<p><strong>Mike Schmidt</strong> was a consistent home run hitter and ranks 16th in the all-time list with 548 home runs. <strong>Miguel Cabrera</strong>, who is still active, has hit 487 home runs during Baseball’s modern era. Then you have <strong>Carl Yastrzemski</strong> who played in the 1970’s and hit 452 homers in his career. Ranked 107 is<strong> Darryl Strawberry</strong>, who had one of the most elegant swings in MLB history , he was able to hit 335 home runs, despite his off the field issues.</p>
<p>So, who are the all-time home run leaders in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a> history? Well, the list includes legends like <strong>Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, and current standout Albert Pujols. Let’s take a look at the magnificent seven, the top 7 home runs kings in the MLB.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Ken Griffey, Jr.</strong> hit 630 career home runs, Griffey was synonymous with the Seattle Mariners, and was the AL home run leader on four occasions. Griffey was the total package, he could hit, run, and field.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Alex Rodriguez </strong>doesn’t get the credit he deserves at times, for whatever reason Rodriguez gets a lot of heat for his time with the Yankees, where he won a World Series in 2009. Rodriguez’s body of work shows that he hit 696 home runs, just four shy of hitting 700. A power hitter Rodriguez is among the best in baseball history with the bat in his hands.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>The Babe played in a different era,<strong> Babe Ruth</strong> hit 714 home runs in his career, say what you want about the times, whatever era, Ruth had a lifestyle that no athlete that wants to be on top of his game should have. He partied, drank, and would spend his nights in brothels. Nonetheless the Babe was the home run king for over 30 years.</p>
<h2>2. Hank Aaron</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>Statistically speaking <strong>Barry Bonds</strong> is the MLB’s home run king with 762 total HRs. Unfortunately, many purists have requested an asterisk be put on that number due to Bonds using steroids to perform better on the field. Still as far as the MLB is concerned Bonds is the Home Run King.</p>
