Pete Alonso will use eight different bats at the 2021 Home Run Derby in Denver as he looks to defend his title next week during the All-Star festivities.

The bats, painted by artist Gregory Siff, have Alonso's life story on the lumber.

"It's functional art, which is really, really awesome," Alonso told ESPN.
