Leading off in the final, Doersching once again set the tone, his 20 home runs proving to be too much for Keenan to match. He is a huge fan of the NBA and NFL, as well as soccer, college basketball and college football. In more recent years, he started collecting basketball cards again on a whim and has since expanded to other sports and entertainment options.
They will receive 30 additional seconds in a round if they notch at least two home runs that travel more than 440 feet. How much time, in seconds, it takes a runner to get from one base to another, like Home To First. How quickly, in seconds, a catcher can get the ball out of his glove and to the base on a stolen base or pickoff attempt. "You've got to go in with kind of a killer instinct. It doesn't matter how many you hit; you just need to have one more than the guy you're facing." Alonso did not experience the hottest start of the eight competitors, but he did deal with the boos raining down from the Cleveland fans as he faced Indians slugger Carlos Santana in the opening round. As his 57th home run of Monday night flew into the stands, Alonso delivered an all-time bat flip as well by flinging his lumber high into the air above home plate in Cleveland.

The online-only exclusive features all eight participants in the HR Derby at the 2019 MLB All-Star Game. However, that is too small of a sample size to base his derby performance off, and we feel more comfortable using his form this season as an indicator for success Monday. He will also be hitting in comfortable surroundings and will not have the pressure to win the competition on his shoulders, so he should be able to swing loose at the plate and put on a show. If a tie occurs in any round, there will be a 90-second swing-off to determine the winner. If that does not produce a winner, the matchup will go to a swing-off of three pitches, and then sudden death if necessary.

Plenty of gamblers will tell you this is as much of a crapshoot as the total number of frankfurters eaten at the Hot Dog Eating Contest. However, I think you can use some advanced metrics and other factors — like familiarity with the pitcher — to get an edge. I’ll take a stab in the head-to-head battle at plus-money, and I also see some value on Acuna Jr. to win the derby at 10-1.
The stakes are even higher this summer, as the champion will be rewarded with $1 million for the first time in All-Star history. Christian Yelich has pulled out of the Home Run Derby and oddsmakers now list Bell as the favorite. Bell’s 27 homers ranks 5th in the majors and he leads all hitters this season with seven homers of at least 440 feet and has crushed five dingers at least 450 feet.
Home Run Derby 2019
The Home Run Derby participants are slotted into an eight-player bracket that uses a single-elimination format to determine the champion. Ronald Acuna, Jr. is the smallest player in the field at 180 pounds, but the right-hander has hit 12 of his 21 home runs to the opposite field. All previous 11 Braves batters that competed in the Home Run Derby lost in the first round. A's third baseman Matt Chapman replaced Christian Yelich and took his No. 1 seed despite hitting fewer homers than a few other contenders. Since 1985, Intersport has been an award-winning innovator and leader in the creation of sports, lifestyle, culinary and entertainment-based marketing platforms.
The 24-year-old became the fourth player seeded second in the bracketed format, which began in 2015, to win the event. He matched Guerrero with eight more homers in the first tiebreaker, then tied the Blue Jays rookie with one blast in the first three-swing swing-off. Pederson homered on the first swing of the final tiebreaker, but couldn't keep the epic showdown going.
Topps Update Home Run Derby Gold /2019 Ronald Acuna Jr Acuña #US271
A native of Boca Raton, Fla., he is the second Duke player in three years to participate in the Rocket Mortgage College Home Run Derby, following Griffin Conine in 2017. Doersching has belted 26 home runs in his first two seasons with Northern Kentucky, a mark which already places him fifth on the program’s all-time list. This year, he finished with 13 home runs, which ranked third in the Horizon League, and drove in 44 runs, both of which were team highs. A native of Greendale, Wis., Doersching ranked first for the Norse in slugging percentage (.503) and second in walks , doubles and total bases . He started 51 of the 52 games in which he appeared this season, finishing with 13 multi-hit games, including a trio of three-hit contests. He is the first player from Northern Kentucky to participate in the Rocket Mortgage College Home Run Derby.
With everything on the line, Guerrero went 440 feet on his first swing but fell short of the fence on his last two. Pederson took his first swing out to right-center, popped up his second swing and fouled off swing No. 3 to set up yet another three-swing tiebreaker. Doersching outlasted Ole Miss’ Tyler Keenan, to claim the 10th annual derby title. Together, the two sluggers combined for 91 home runs during the competition.
Guerrero finished his five minutes of regulation time with a fairly casual 24 taters, and he tacked on five more to break Josh Hamilton’s single-round record set at Yankee Stadium in 2008. Those 29 jacks included five of 450-plus feet, and eight over 440 feet. Jim Chapman received a text from his son asking to be a pitcher in the Home Run Derby, which turns out to be a dream come true for the father of the A’s third baseman.
Individuals must be 21+ to participate in sports betting and iGaming in the U.S. If Pederson gets by Bregman, I like his chances against either Vlad Jr. or Chapman. His most-likely opponent in the final would be Josh Bell and I like Pederson’s chances to beat Bell considering the Pirates’ slugger has a higher line-drive rate and an unfamiliar pitcher on the mound. The switch-hitting Bell will also have to decide which side of the plate he will bat from. He has been more efficient from the right side in 2019, homering seven times in 78 at-bats. If the tie is not broken by that, the winner will be decided by three swings, and if a victor is not determined by that, it will come down to sudden death.
This year’s Derby will take place over three rounds, with the top hitters from each side of the bracket squaring off in the final. There are also limited relics with much higher prices, but these don't play into the bonus card aspect. MLB.com put together a nice bracket for the 2019 Home Run Derby, which shows how the players are matched up. Take a swing for yourself with 2019 Topps Now Home Run Derby Baseball.
The annual Rocket Mortgage College Home Run Derby showcases some of college baseball’s premier sluggers and the stars of tomorrow.
