This is, without exception, the best HR Derby I have ever watched.

I was actually disappointed in the lineups for the Derby. It didn't feel like there were any *true* mashers (Judge, Stanton from the past), but I gave it a shot. Glad I did. That Round 2 was exciting.
Just to clarify, I was disappointed in the lineups **before the derby**. I've seen the stats, but never got a chance to see Vlad, Acuna and Alonso actually swing the bat. It was a lot of fun.
Gotcha!
This was really my first chance at seeing what sort of power Vlad had in his at-bat and he did not disappoint! I've watched him in some minor league games and seen a highlight or two in the majors but I was not expecting that sort of display either.
I couldn’t believe he didn’t throw out his shoulder and/or swing out of his shoes, that dude is nuts

Only drawback was that he pulled everything....every ball went to left field. Would like to have seen if he had any opposite field power.
Give Joc his due. The Vlad Jr show was only so exciting because Joc made him keep going back up to bat.

I think that was a strategy for the field in Cleveland...I think it was the Astros players they interviewed before Bregman’s at bats that said they advised him to hit it to left. Must be something with the Cleveland park dimensions
