Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is the latest slugger to commit to the 2023 Home Run Derby.

The 2021 AL Rookie of the Year and 2020 ALCS MVP is the fourth player to commit to MLB's marquee All-Star event, joining Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez, Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts.

The 28-year-old is having another outstanding campaign, hitting .288/.401/.484 with 15 homers and nine stolen bases over 80 games.

Arozarena was selected to the American League All-Star roster via fan vote Thursday as a starting outfielder alongside Mike Trout and Aaron Judge.

The 2023 Home Run Derby is set to take place July 10 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, one day before the Midsummer Classic.
