Brian Dozier is in the All-Star Game Home Run Derby. He's not a prototypical slugger, but he does have 34 combined home runs in 2013 and 2014.
In that span, per Hit Tracker, Dozier has 17 of his 34 home runs at Target Field. All of them have been to left or left-center. Because he is such a dead-pull hitter, he could succeed in the derby.
All but one of his Target Field homers traveled under 400 feet. The longest was a 412-footer Sept. 23 last season. So he's not hitting the prodigious homers of his peers. For instance, Jose Bautista has 15 HRs of more than 400 feet this season.
