Eight baseball players at Lehigh Valley high schools will slug it out June 5 at Coca-Cola Park for a chance to compete in the 2010 Triple-A Home Run Derby.
They will try to qualify after the Lehigh Valley IronPigs' 6:35 p.m. game against the Charlotte Knights. The two players with the most points will compete with six Triple-A players in the home run derby July 12 that's part of the Triple-A All-Star week festivities.
During a qualifying derby May 23 that narrowed the field from 22 to eight, Adam Wehr of Northwestern Lehigh High School earned the highest total of 20 points.
Here's how the scoring will work next weekend: each batter who hits the ball off the wall or onto the warning trick will get three points. Home runs are worth five points.
These are the Valley natives who will participate:
Adam Wehr – Northwestern Lehigh High School
Jayson Rathjens – Quakertown High School
Robert Howell – Phillipsburg High School
Carlos Urena – Whitehall High School
D.J. King – Nazareth Area High School
Josh Fehnel – Northampton Area High School
Pat Walshe – Bethlehem Catholic High School
Westyn Baylor – Bangor Area High School
