Kyle Schwarber and others are expected to take advantage of the park's home run-friendly characteristics. The current record for the longest home run in the Derby, 520 feet, might be challenged based on the ballpark's dimensions and conditions favorable for hitters. The Derby precedes the MLB All-Star Game on July 14.
