start he's at 10. now 11 and he's got

two minutes to go

well in the house that Griffey built

Julio Rodriguez is laying a few bricks

of his

14 homers a buck 35 still to go and a

minute of bonus time is Pete Alonso took

a look

and still continues to work out Julio at

32 in the first round last year

and he is just about on Pace for that

number again 20 pitches 20 swings 70

percent of the time the ball left the

building

oh my

oh my goodness

another one

Carl the thing is all the fans here in

Seattle they understand that it's

against beat Alonso they know that every

home run here counts they're all on

their feet

and these cheers will turn into food oh

wow crushed Kirkland get ready another

one

for a swing percentage to Homer this is

damage

this is what we saw last year

maybe he's built for this event there's

another moonshot

oh man

25 homers still 37 plus a minute of

bonus time

and he like any other hitter in the

round knows that he has to go for it all

in the first round Peter Lonzo is just

too big of a

Challenge and oh my is he doing it

oh my goodness you're in that upper

decking left you're leaving with a

souvenir

oh my God

another

the only thing stopping him is the clock

right now

what a show Julio Rodriguez

oh my gosh listen to the crowd

he's not fatigued no he's not okay we

saw Vladimir Guerrero Jr he was fatigued

he was gasping for air

this guy has a lot left in the tank

a lot left in the tank and Julio

Rodriguez and you can see everyone right

there

[Applause]

we are in the month of July

[Applause]

Julio in Espanol

[Applause]

it's his month it's his town it's his

Stadium

watch the back leg how strong he is to

the front side that stays in the zone

long and through

look a major component of this is the BP

that's been thrown to him consistent

throughout short step short arm right

there up in the zone up and end and he

has all the superstars on their feet

celebrating

he stole the show last year he owns the

show already tonight 32 total homers

his exit velocity is about 109 miles an

hour he's hit several over 440 the

longest is 452.

he is the only player with multiple 30

Homer Derby rounds in a career he's got

three the only player

and I tell you one thing nobody is

enjoying this and the challenge put in

front of him more than Alonso yeah

where's that number going you got a

minute left he's at 32 he's sitting

about 70. that'll get the 41 at least

I'm gonna go see her on this one and in

the meantime it's Alonso going to be

playing the part of the Joker

Julio Rodriguez is trying to become the

youngest to ever win a derby

watch Pena no steps to throw BP it's a

short arm right to the point up and in

oh boy are they in sync

another what is money

he's already at 36 Carl

it's coming real easy

watch The Met that's right

yeah that's a souvenir

that's a souvenir

guys what a show what's the bottom half

he's not tired at all

106. 106 miles per hour 24. launch angle

with 10 seconds left got out of his

swing on that one

got about one more after this got to do

it quick and he won't do it he'll stop

at 41.
