The 2022 T-Mobile Home Run Derby is here, and some of the greatest sluggers in the game are taking their cuts at Dodger Stadium. Mets star Pete Alonso, the event's reigning two-time champ, is looking to become the first player in history to win three consecutive Derbies.

Below is a list of all the sluggers taking part (seeds determined by participants’ home run totals through July 13), and here's a refresher on the rules of the Derby.

No. 6 seed: Julio Rodríguez, Mariners: 32 first-round home runs The Mariners' rookie phenom got the show started in L.A. with the second-most homers ever in the first round of a Derby. Swinging a black bat with his nickname "J-Rod" plastered all over it in Mariners green, Rodríguez crushed a 463-foot shot to left-center at Dodger Stadium for the first home run of the Derby. J-Rod heated up fast in his first Home Run Derby, crushing 14 home runs before calling timeout just over halfway through his round -- then adding 11 more to take his total to 25 before bonus time. Seven more home runs in bonus time earned Rodríguez a standing ovation from the Dodger Stadium crowd. J-Rod hit 10 homers of 440-plus feet, and six 450-footers.
