In conjunction with Major League Baseball, the Albuquerque Isotopes announced RYAN ZIMMERMAN as the fourth MLB Legend to participate in Home Run Derby X (HRDX) on Friday, August 23 at Rio Grande Credit Union Field at Isotopes Park.
Known as “Mr. National,” Zimmerman played 16 seasons for Washington and became the first National to have his number retired by the club. The two-time Silver Slugger and Gold Glove winner was also a 2019 World Series Champion with Washington. He hit 284 home runs during a career that saw him named to the National League All-Star team twice (2009, 2017). He was selected fourth overall by the Washington Nationals in the 2005 MLB Draft—the first player drafted by the Nationals after the franchise moved from Montreal.
Zimmerman rounds out the list of MLB Legends who are scheduled to participate in the HRDX Event, joining MANNY RAMIREZ, IAN DESMOND, and JONNY GOMES who were previously announced in May. The quartet will be joined by women’s softball/baseball stars JOCELYN ALO, ALEX HUGO, ASHTON LANSDELL, and Albuquerque’s own ANDREA HOWARD – as well as a group of local participants – in this thrilling, action-packed night of entertaining competition. The group of locals will be announced this Thursday during a press conference at RGCU Field.
