The stars won’t be the only things shining during the 2023 MLB Home Run Derby.
The league revealed that the winner of this year’s competition will take home an iced-out, Mariners-themed chain.
Check out the piece for yourself:
The hardwear reportedly weighs three pounds and includes 1,000 stones. And as if that wasn’t enough, the nautical compass on the chain can spin.
This isn’t the first time MLB will hand out jewelry for the Home Run Derby champion.
