2021 MLB Home Run Derby Thread…

Ohtani the favorite in the betting markets. I like the “HR Champ from the AL” prop. Soto looks like the best chance for the NL and he’s paired up with Ohtani opening round. Olson and Gallo both studs too.

Let’s see it.

Ah! Olson almost ties Mancini in extra time. Last swing just hooked foul.

24-23 though. Mancini advances.

Hell of a first match up

I am low key loving the Statcast Edition on ESPN2.

I thought Mancini’s last HR before extra time left the pitcher’s hand well after the clock hit expired.

This Alonso guy is good. I haven’t watched one in over a decade and it used to be my favorite sports events of the summer.
I did learn something tonight though. Vlad Guerrero has a son that is an all star. The more you know.

Alonzo putting on a clinic, geez

Soto / Ohtani headed for a swing off

Ohtani would have been toast had he advanced anyway. Alonso is going to win it

If only Alonso could loosen up a little

I feel like the altitude is getting to the big guys some.

Alonso went beast mode tonight. Blew away the competition without hardly breaking a sweat. Very impressive.
