about 45 50 000 folks here and many many
millions more watching on television and
tonight the stars are going to shine on
a stage unlike any other in sports and
tonight baseballs will take flight
an amazing field of eight competing for
the 2023 T-Mobile home run Championship
the question is will this ballpark be
able to hold them this is the St Louis
Cardinals kind of nightmare scenario
because of course the rosarina and
Garcia will reach part of the Cardinals
organization teammates on three minor
league teams and they are like brothers
literally adolis is the Godfather to
arose Arena's daughter once you get the
first
keep it going another second deck shot
now Randy has found his Groove theorosa
Raynor with a buck 45. and he's got his
Tampa Bay mates right here in front of
us starting to bounce a little bit this
projects right now to finish round 25
because that first round is the most
difficult one now the heart rate starts
racing a little bit gets rehydrated and
I should expect a roll coming soon
that's over 4 40 right there has to be
little second win for Randy orozarena
there's a smash nobody performs better
on a bigger stage than Randy rosarina
will not get the extra 30 seconds he
will get what everyone gets the original
30 seconds granny takes advantage of
those last 30 seconds by adding
five so he'll sit at 24. and in the
lineup in which you have a whole bunch
of Boppers in Texas this is the guy that
you talked to opposing managers they say
I know that Seeger's back Garcia is the
one that scares them the most oh and
he's gonna fall short of Randy orozarena
so the five seed will knock out the
fourth seed and Randy arose Arena will
move on to the semifinals and his buddy
idolis Garcia will end on 17. he was
gassed after that first round how many
times do we see that pose from Randy
tonight Ali rutchman of the Baltimore
Orioles and yes he will have his dad
pitching to him tonight obviously you
see the relationship there his dad's
gonna be able to throw to him I mean how
much do you just love this all right so
rutchman and Dad yeah that is a
catcher's mid he can hold some baseball
oh baby Jump City off pitched one badly
leads the yard for two to start this
thing good number here he Still's got
30. how far is it going blast off to
Bellingham boy what a start on the
rushman 21. what a picture that is with
that and now how about this Doug is
switching to about right-handed for the
bonus time this is crazy Majestic drive
to left Center into the second deck oh
he hit everyone out
should have been hit right-handed the
whole time what 27 for adley Richmond
the catcher for Baltimore I mean he's a
switch hitter he switches for one round
and then hits every ball out rexman will
now take a seat
and the sellout crowd will welcome Luis
Robert
again you see the exit velocity is the
launch angles look at that one right now
29 degree launch angle that ball is hit
par
470 feet now they're taking off like
airplanes here they are going out in a
hurry he may not even need his bonus it
is a show and it's certainly going to be
the end of the night for Anthony
rutchman who's just in shocked like wait
a minute one more home run for Larice
Robert and he will advance
say goodbye to Abby Richmond there it is
there it is Luis Robert into Edgar's
Landing he has won this quarterfinal
matchup 28 homers for Robert as he
eliminates adley Richmond the only other
appearance for Vladimir Guerrero Jr the
Home Run Derby he set the single Derby
home run record hitting 91 in 2019.
great to see John Schneider back his
manager who still does throw batting
practice three on the board for Vlad to
start likely number four the two gold
stars are lit up
and Vlad is now starting to take off
some Rockets to Mount Rainier wait a
minute halfway up second deck moonshot
and they want to know what he should be
doing right now
just secure the ball take it easy you
got power baby come on
we're in this bonus round which is a
minute and that one is headed deep into
the night in left field this is all top
half right now and it's looking pretty
for vladi 26 for Vladimir Guerrero Jr
look one thing that mookie is as a true
competitor
and he's not going to do this to
embarrass himself and that one looks
like it is off
to Olympia Washington there's another
shot so mookie goes back to back that's
a big fly there Eduardo yeah that one's
as far to the center field side as you
want mookie to hit it without a timeout
10 seconds left he went through this
entire round without a timeout I feel
like he can look back at his career and
say he did everything in the Home Run
Derby is something he hasn't done so
that's something he needed to check off
oh he's got a long way to go he could
just have fun
and Vlad Junior advances
26-11 Guerrero defeats bets so just like
that you got a rematch between Pete
Alonso who has historically made this as
big a deal as anybody and Julio
Rodriguez who like All-Star hosts in the
past
got a lot of attention on them and the
crowd on its feet here at T-Mobile Park
McDonald's pretty good start
yeah that's a real good start
and that's as long as we may have seen
here as the second deck gets set this is
like a driving range right now for Julio
Rodriguez
Julio in his own yard what a show what a
show 25 homers still 37 plus a minute of
bonus time the only thing stopping him
is the clock right now
what a show Julio Rodriguez
another one is money
he's already at 36 Carl he'll stop at
41. that is the most ever hit in a first
round of the Home Run Derby the bar has
been set Peter Lonzo listen to the booze
here
he's got to get to 41 and he's got to
start quickly and he needs some good
pitches Aaron Morris is the guy that now
gets the job of doing that that's an
absolute moonshot Leo Rodriguez the Pete
Alonso Kryptonite looks like he's gonna
send him packing in back to back home
run Derbies barring some miracle from
Alonso and for the second year in a row
Julio Rodriguez is going to knock Peter
Alonso out of the T-Mobile Home Run
Derby one thing you can say about Randy
wherever he goes is a fan favorite
nobody smoked that one that one is
headed High into the second deck there
goes the line shot there's a big blast
Randy rosarina steps back in though
where the camera is
he's found a little Groove here that's
three in a row for Randy well he's got
his second gold star so he's got the
extra 30. critical that's a heck of a
round with still 60 seconds left but you
also have gladiol Julio to deal with
and to win this thing it has to be over
40 easily final 20 seconds for a rose
Arena 34 homers there goes another one
heck of a round for Randy posit a Rosa
Reyna will he be able to pass those 35
home runs hit by a rose Arena I say yes
he can I think it's easier to go first
you're not chasing because that's in the
back of your head right right already
right how many I need I'm sitting here
at six I get the bonus now which is
great yeah 227 total right now he has to
get on a run it just looks totally
different than his first round and Randy
Rosa rain is feeling real good and it
may be Randy's night the top seed is out
the five seed arose Arena headed to the
final against either Vladimir Guerrero
junior or Julio Rodriguez it's about to
get loud here and it's Julio Rodriguez
who has put on a show from the get-go
and this combo of Julio Rodriguez and
riding mcguero Jr pretty special and
there's Dad he's ready he's telling
everybody to get up they don't need to
be told they're already up not a huge
start for Julio not a huge start for him
bought up to that first one that one is
towards left Center field
and it will carry over and the crowd now
Gets behind him he will have 30 seconds
to add on to 16.
oh get in a roll now
it's a little too late interesting Julio
Rodriguez off of her remarkable first
round and we'll only have to wait to see
if it's enough to get to the final glad
he feels pretty comfortable right now
with 20. just watch Louie Rodriguez he
said you know what we got a chance
boy those are just line shots crawling
over that wall that one's a little
further back there goes another one
towards deck number two he's got the
bonus already he's Midway there he's got
242 to get there he is Toasty right now
got into that one though
one more one more the first two haven't
gone Don't Panic here it comes oh he's
done exit stage right final is set it's
Vlad Guerrero Jr who just knocks out
Julio Rodriguez
and he will take on Randy orozarena but
Marshawn Lynch looks like he's getting a
home run derby you see the chain he has
on that's coming at you I am getting out
of the way it's a focused look on Randy
orozarena's face very focused when does
it not when he has his arms crossed yeah
all right so a minute 13 he's got one of
those that went 440 trying to buy
himself wow an extra 30 seconds in this
two-minute round he gets the extra one
the 440. I think I think it's really
difficult to come out and beat him
Arena
well he's starting to get on a bit of a
Groove Here Again by flying those balls
to left and he is right now gassed with
one minute left trying to regroup a
little bit right here tremendous
performance by Vlad 25 record for a
final round record for a final round
Vlad Guerrero trying to join his dad as
a champion Randy Rosary has had so many
gargantuan moments Mammoth swings in his
short professional baseball career he
needs 26 to take that off of Marshawn
Lynch's neck oh for five he hasn't
swung a bat in about 45 minutes in this
environment he's been underneath but
it's been about a 45 minute wait between
at bats yeah he's starting to get on a
pretty good roll right now though as
Randy arose to rain it hasn't gotten to
that 440 yet he's got nine he needs 25
14 in a minute uh you gotta you gotta go
that's two here we go that's three oh
man
he's in a great spot he's in a great
spot with 30 to go but here comes the
quantity he knows what he needs to get I
mean all the players right now are on
their feet
oh popped it up gotta have one I don't
think he did it
he did not do it
Brad Guerrero Junior will hang on and
win the 2023 T-Mobile Home Run Derby
