LOS ANGELES, California — Shohei Ohtani won't participate in the Home Run Derby on July 15 despite the Japanese superstar ranking second in the majors with 27 homers for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ohtani has taken part in the Derby just once, exiting in the first round in 2021 at Coors Field in Denver. This year's event is at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
