This year's participants for the 24th edition of the Festival Jonron Pepsi, Venezuela's annual home run derby, were recently announced.
Nine confirmed hitters will swing for the fences on Nov. 30 at Estadio Universitario de la Universidad Central de Venezuela in Caracas, Venezuela.
The participants feature plenty of Major League Baseball star power, including Ronald Acuna Jr. and Jackson Chourio. The rest of the field includes Maikel Garcia, Gabriel Moreno, Andres Chaparro, Ethan Salas, Eugenio Suarez, Willson Contreras, and Francisco Renteria.
The final spot in the competition will go to the LVBP's home run leader at the time of the event. Currently, that player would be Navegantes del Magallanes outfielder Angel Reyes, who's hit seven home runs in 24 games this winter.
Wilyer Abreu took home the trophy at last year's derby, defeating Chaparro in the final round with nine home runs.
Where to Watch - Online streaming of the Home Run Derby will be available via BeisbolPlay, which requires a paid subscription. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. ET.
