The 2023 Home Run Derby field is set.

Rangers slugger Adolis Garcia was announced by MLB on Wednesday as the eighth and final participant in this year's Derby at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.

Garcia rounds out a field featuring a two-time Home Run Derby champ in Pete Alonso, an MVP winner in Mookie Betts and a hometown star in Julio Rodriguez.

He'll also look to join Ken Griffey Jr. as the second Mariner to win the contest.
