Dino Ebel to Pitch for Bryce Harper in Home Run Derby

Bryce Harper is preparing to compete in the Home Run Derby, and he's enlisted the help of Los Angeles Dodgers coach Dino Ebel to throw him pitches. This decision marks a departure from having a teammate or coach from his current club, the Philadelphia Phillies, deliver the batting practice tosses.

The choice of Ebel is notable given the existing rivalries in Major League Baseball. However, the focus for Harper appears to be on maximizing his chances of success in the prestigious event, especially with the competition taking place in front of his passionate home crowd at Citizens Bank Park.
