MLB Home Run Derby Round 1: Corey Seager (3) vs. Julio Rodriguez (6)
Julio Rodriguez, just 21 years old, got the night started with a monster showing. He put the fastest measured swing speed this season on full display, at one point hitting nine home runs in a row and 11 homers on 12 pitches!
Crushing the ball with an average distance of 420 feet and with almost half of his dingers over 440 feet, he earned the extra minute of time and ended up with an unreal 32 home runs.
Seager, a former Dodger now residing in Texas, came out and started showing some real power as he kept pulling it to right field. Unfortunately, his 24 home runs were not enough to stop the juggernaut.
Julio Rodriguez defeats Corey Seager, 32-24
MLB Home Run Derby Round 1: Pete Alonso (2) vs. Ronald Acuña Jr. (7)
Ronald Acuña Jr. is always exceptionally exciting but it seemed as if he and his pitcher were not on the same page. There were a lot of pitches that were hard to pull and it showed as the Braves superstar was spraying the ball all over the place. The result was a disappointing first three minutes as he only had one homer over 440 feet, giving him just 30 seconds of bonus time. That was unproductive too, though, as he hit only 19 for his total.
The defending champ (two times), Alonso started off hot but did go a bit cold in the middle of his round. However, when he hit them, they were absolutely crushed with a 480-footer, the longest of the night. That power earned him the full minute of bonus time as he finished the three minutes with 17. He only needed half of the bonus time to get to 21 and keep his three-peat hopes alive.
Pete Alonso defeats Ronald Acuña Jr., 21-19
