Seager is joined in the race by Dominicans Jose Ramírez (Cleveland Guardians), Juan Soto (Washington Nationals), Albert Pujols (St. Louis Cardinals), and Julio Rodriguez (Seattle Mariners); as well as Venezuelan Ronald Acuna Jr., Kyle Schwarber, (Philadelphia Phillies) and defending champion Pete Alonso (New York Mets).
The left-handed hitter and leading figure of Texas arrive at a good moment since he has chartered six homers in his last eight games, including a string of five crashes sending the ball out of the park, compiling a total of 21 so far this season.
Seager has experience in this contest since he was present in the 2016 edition.
With Seager's confirmation, the main draw was completed, which was defined as follows:
In the first round, Dominican Albert Pujols, who has hit six home runs in the regular season, will face Kyle Schwarber, who arrived this Thursday as the National League home run leader with 28.
Venezuelan Ronald Acuña, who has hit eight balls over the wall, will face two-time champion and defending champion Pete Alonso, who has hit 29 homers in the year.
Julio Rodriguez, from Quito, with 15 homers, will face Seager, owner of 21 complete lap sticks.
Juan Soto, the creditor of 19 hits that have left the park, and José Ramírez, who has deposited 17 balls in the stands, will stage a duel of Dominican power bats in this first round at the Major League Home Run Festival.
