Henderson is currently hitting .290/.388/.612 with 26 home runs and 58 RBIs in 81 games.
His 26 home runs are currently second in MLB behind New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, who has 31. Judge notably won the 2017 Home Run Derby.
Henderson should be one of the bigger names in the event, as he is a true MVP candidate on a team with big playoff aspirations.
Baltimore is currently 53-30 and holds a 0.5 game lead over the Yankees for first place in the American League East.
The 2024 MLB Home Run Derby will take place Monday July 15 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
