KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – The band is back together again.<\/p>\n

Royals 2015 World Series champs Lorenzo Cain, Ben Zobrist, Eric Hosmer, and Mike Moustakas will compete in Saturday\u2019s Home Run Derby X at Kauffman Stadium.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Guthrie and Alex Gordon will coach their former teammates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like they\u2019re in pretty good shape,\u201d Gordon said. \u201cI just saw [Lorenzo] Cain. Cain, as you can imagine, still looks pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n

The competition will feature four teams of three players. Each gets 2.5 minutes to hit as many home runs as they can. The opposing teams can score points by catching pop flies in the outfield.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely will be putting in some bets for my guys,\u201d Gordon said. \u201cGonna go big on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Royals<\/a> will compete against old foes from New York and Toronto.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of these kids that kind of grew up watching us playing don\u2019t remember us playing, so I think it\u2019s a lot of fun for them to come out and see that we kind of still have it a little bit,\u201d Gordon said.<\/p>\n

Gates open at 5:30 p.m. Saturday. The competition starts at 7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
