Andy Tracy, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs' all-time home run king, will represent his team in the 2010 Triple-A Home Run Derby on Monday.
The contest begins at 7:05 p.m. at Coca-Cola Park, two days before the All-Star Game.
Tracy, who has 12 home runs this season, is the IronPigs' all-time leader in home runs with 60 and RBIs with 227.
This is the second consecutive Derby appearance for Tracy, who failed to advance to the second round last year on tie-breakers despitehitting five first-round homers.
Durham's Dan Johnson and Jeff Frazier, of Toledo, join Tracy on Monday as the International League's representatives.
The Pacific Coast League will be represented by Brad Eldred, of Colorado Springs, Las Vegas' J.P. Arencibia and Alex Gordon (Omaha).
Joining the six minor league players will be D.J. King, who recently graduated from Nazareth Area High School, and Westyn Baylor, of Bangor Area High School.
Both Lehigh Valley area high schoolers qualified for the Derby by advancing through qualifiers held earlier this season at Coca-Cola Park.
