2012 State Farm Home Run Derby Predictions

  Both AL and NL Home Run Derby teams are powerhouses and it could get very close with all of the powerful hitters, however, I have a prediction for the winner. My pick is...2009 champ, Prince Fielder.  I have reasoning for picking the powerful first baseman. First of all, he has one of the most powerful swings in baseball and has the ability to easily hit the ball 500+ feet. Also, he has won the derby before so he knows what it's like and can pace himself. Here are the players participating-

American League Home Run Derby Team

Robinson Cano (Captain)

Prince Fielder

Jose Bautista

Mark Trumbo

National League Home Run Derby Team

Matt Kemp (Captain)

Carlos Beltran

Andrew McCutchen (Giancarlo Stanton's replacement)

Carlos Gonzalez
