The MLB All-Star Game is nearly upon us and that gives us all a chance to take a break and assess the season so far and watch the home runs fly in tonight's Home Run Derby.

One of those sluggers is Cincinnati's Adam Duvall, who has 23 homers out of absolute nowhere and nearly no cardboard to show for it.
