Hernández beat Philadelphia's Alec Bohm 16-15 after a tiebreaker when both got three swings - Hernández hit two out, and Bohm one.
Tuesday, July 16, 2024 4:08AMPhiladelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm may have not won Monday night's Home Run Derby, but he sure did put on a show for baseball fans.
The 31-year-old Hernández hit 49 homers over three rounds that totaled 3.98 miles and became the first Dodgers player to win the derby. Kansas City has never had a winner. Witt was the No. 2 overall pick by the Royals in 2019 out of Colleyville Heritage High School, about 15 miles north of Globe Life Field. It was his first time in the derby, but he was the high school home run champion in Washington in 2018 - and is the only player to compete in both contests.
Instead of a single-elimination bracket like last year, the four hitters with the most homers in the first round advanced to the semifinal round. It then became a bracket-style competition. Ozuna did have the longest homer of the night at 473 feet. Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels in 2022, and Oakland's Seth Brown in 2021 have both hit 472 feet homers in games at the stadium that is now in its fifth season.
