While the Derby is a ton of fun, the challenge is balancing the excitement with the risk of fatigue or injury. It’s physically demanding, and with the tight schedules players face, it can be tough to recover quickly. But when done right, it’s a great celebration of a player’s skills and a reminder of why baseball’s best hitters shine in this format.
