Who else misses when you’d actually have time to appreciate each home run and see where it landed?
Much more strategy involved too. You don't feel forced to swing at every pitch to try and catch up. If you have a really good pitcher these days, it's a decent advantage
@@DawsonsAttic I'd say it's a massive advantage to having a good pitcher.
Yeah but 2 rounds of this equals one at bat in the old age
It would take legit an hour just for one round
Yeah I remember the Bryce Harper HRD, they had to wait until the ball landed to throw another pitch. I like the newer system
Great match for Arozarena! Vlad, Excellent job. Representing Dominican's Power 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
What Adley did was so cool, his round will be remembered forever.
Cool yes… but won’t be remembered forever. Tone it down a bit.
@@akimoxyz6820speak for yourself, I’ll always remember that beast switching and going 7/8 😅
It was funny how Luis came out like it was light work
@@jacobadrian1115 luis cant really do that in a game.
@@akimoxyz6820I was there live and Adleys round was by far the loudest besides JRods. The crowd was in awe over Adley
Amazing and happy to see the Cubans boys Adolis Garcia, Luis Robert Jr and Randyyyy 🔥
I don't know how the MLB can keep screwing up the Derby. When they brought in the time limit it was so much better and we could still see the balls land. For some reason the MLB thought "More HR=Better" so they kept pushing it and now we don't even get to see where the balls land because the hitter's don't have to wait anymore between pitches. It's horrible to watch on TV. The announcers most of the time weren't even telling us when balls went out. They need to go back to making them wait for the ball to land so the viewers can see it and appreciate the home run and then the camera comes back to the batter for the next pitch. I don't care if that means we will get less home runs. There's no point to having more homeruns if we can't see them. Also, the bracket is illogical. The first round should be all 8 batters competing against each other. The top 4 move to round 2. Then you could either have 1seed vs 4seed and 2seed vs 3seed, or do the same thing as round 1 and have all 4 compete against each other and then the top 2 face off in the final round.
Totally agree
Agree
💯
Julio burned all his energy in the first round 😢
again! luckily hes got a long career to learn how to pace himself haha
Because he new Alfonzo was behind him
They absolutely destroyed the derby everyone loved with this stupid format
Best lines of the night: "Julio, how'd you do it?" "Swinging!" Also Bo: "He's gonna need a smaller handle. Can't help you with that."
Vladdy doing Randy’s signature move was awesome 🗿
I have lost my voice from Julio’s first round it was so cool there
He electrified in that first round.
It’s all about the path.. I knew the universe would make things right after Cleveland’s Derby in 2019 lol
Ok the world can go back to normal now that Vladdy got his derby win. Well earned!
Wouldn’t have made it out of the first round if he faced anyone but betts
couldn't care less, couldn't disagree more
@@jimboslice69420 I mean he literally hit less HR’s then everyone other then Mookie. Not sure what you can possibly disagree with but ok
@@brando3033 i was replying to original comment 👍
@@brando3033 LOL cry. Vlad had the exact same thing happen in 2019 when he set the derby record in round 1 and hit 40 in round 2 and still lost in the finals because he couldn't hit more 22 because he was so gassed. So this was very well deserved. Polar bear is on suicide watch. lolol
MLB should broadcast at least the derby and the all-star game on this channel at no cost, since not all of us have the resources to pay. In gratitude to the fans they should do it.
It was literally on streaming on UA-cam.....live yesterday
100%
you don’t have to worry if you’re a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates 🏴☠️
0:21 randy arozarena never misses an opportunity to wear cowboy boots XD
Hey MLB, the ball tracking camerawork is UTTERLY AMATEURISH.
Wandering camera trying to find the ball is UNWATCHABLE.
Vladdy guerrero jr.🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
El mejor Dios bendiga la República Dominicana 🇩🇴 y el mundo 🌎 entero ❤
The person who hits the most home runs in the preliminary round almost never wins the final.
Pete Alonso’s pitcher sold heem😂😂😂
Thanks MLB
we need to go back to the older format so we can appreciate the absolute moonshots.
Agreed. I don't like the timer. Let us watch.
@@kermitfrog593 I like the timer, but not making them wait for the ball to land makes this pointless to watch on tv. We didn't get to see where a single HR went.
who else agrees we should go back to the ‘10 out system’ considering U can’t even admire the home runs bc it’s timed. I don’t like that. I think HR derby should be appreciated with every swing. i’m sure most of y’all would agree 🧢⚾️
So great to see vlad win .
Julio set the bar very high for a 1st round, 41 is a number that won't be beat anytime soon.
Why is there so much hate comments this was a fun derby
Because we couldn't see where the balls were hit on tv. The whole point is to watch where the ball lands, but all we got was a camera stuck to the batter and statcast metrics popping up at us.
Julio was not even gassed out compared to the others !! Go Mariners!!
Did you see the 2nd round
seeing the big letters on the back of their jerseys was a breath of fresh air
The most amazing home run derby ever.
I was there it was so fun
The timed format blows honestly it was so much better when it was 10 outs, actually got to watch the HRs
They should be doing differently skill competitions instead of just a HR derby.
arozarenas daughter stole the show for me. Loved the game but prefer old format. This was so rushed. Congrats vladdy!!
Always hated this format because it’s just a stamina derby. The HRD was at its best with the long bombs and Berman.
Good job Luis Robert making us white Sox fans proud good first round💪🏽🐐
Let's goooo
Randy with the 30 second choke job
He shoulda wore the boots.
Mookie was the guy they called when Elly De La Cruise turned down the nod. Love Mookie, hes a class act, but he knew he was out of his league against everybody else in this crowd
He was a free pass for valdie jr otherwise he wouldn’t have made it out of the first round against literally anyone else
what if they did this with anything but a bat?
I like ur videos and 1st
What would they do it with???
vladdy would still hit tanks
Big guys, big power! Love it!
OK MLB - You need to come out with a Vladdy Tee-Shirt...." WHO’S YOUR VLADDY!" - in honor of Vlad Sr. & Vladdy Jr.
Julio's first round was LIGHTNING, loved how hype the crowd got for him. I'm an Astros fan and I was cheering so much. But damn if Adley's round didn't amaze me too.
Damn I don’t know who found this format enjoyable because I literally can’t keep track
Mlb needs to go back to the old rules where we can actually enjoy the homeruns
As a Cubs fan, I was up on my feet jumping up and down like a kid on Christmas watching Julio hit 41 in the first round. The most electrifying HRD moment in recent memory
“aS a CuBs fAn”
How is the team you support relevant at all
I usually don’t mind when people say their team but seriously, what did that have to do with anything?
@@DS-qz2gu because it means I wasn’t biased…
I absolutely hate these camera angles. I want to see the view from behind home plate or at least a side view. I want to see the full view of the ball path.
I also want these guys to have more time between pitches. One so we can have time to appreciate each homer and two, so we can get more bombs. Idk, I can’t even finish watching these highlights. So not enjoyable
It was supposed to be about distance not volume
It’s always been about volume ever since it started back i don’t even know how long ago. Even the 10 out format was still about volume
Make a change in the format ('seeding') for the final. Vlady should not have had to go back-to-back with about a 3-minute rest (gassed) while Arozarena had to wait 47 minutes between pitches - 'coldish'/zoned out - and if not for lack of power, he would have won easily, recovered.
At least the umpires can't F'up the HR Derby.
Look for God 🙏❤️
La desventaja de Julio Rodríguez es que siempre le toca primero y así debe tratar de dar la mayor cantidad posible.
Se desgasta.
Más bien contra rivales fuertes. Arozarena lo tenía por poco fácil
The home run derby setup is dumb. 1. With the split screen on espn I couldn't even see a bunch of homeruns. And the sheer volume and speed of the whole thing makes it hard to enjoy and watch each homerun. A home run derby doesn't need a clock like a 3 pt contest. Go back to the old style
You get 10 outs amd taje your time . Chris Berman saying back back back gone amd every home run you could watch and enjoy was pure gold. This is dumb setup.
Mlb's best sluggers
beautiful mild Seattle summer day
Was cool to watch in my opinion
I actually dont like the style of the home run derby. Just swinging as fast as they can at everything. I wish it was slower and focused more on who could hit the biggest bombs and closest to 500 instead of who can pull the most over left.
Fun fact: the longest 6 HRs were all Luis Robert Jr.
And he has the most homers of the bunch. He's a beast.
Let’s go vlady!!!!!! Got the w!!
Vlad 💪💪
throw a pitch, hit the ball. WAiT!!! show full screen the ball's path and see where it lands and have the distance like they did in the old days. throw the next pitch. not complicated. not this rapid fire nonsense
While to an extent I agree, this change would hurt people hitting deeper Home Run balls..
I agree i think this format leaves a lot of wiggle for bad pitching to ruin your game. Pete’s pitcher looked like he was an egging a house lol it’s so stressful! Too rushed !!
@@JesseWillOh definitely. Felt so bad because i know if he had Friedlein vlad and julio would have had a tougher fight on his hands
The Braves have 8 players on the NL team the most HRs in baseball, no one in the derby.
T-Mobile park facilities are so good
I HATE the current format. There's no chance to admire the homeruns at all. Absolutely disinterested
@@JesseWill Sorry I don't talk to casuals. Move along
I miss Chris Berman back back back gone
Braves on track to hit more home runs than any team in MLB history…not a single Brave in the home run derby…
Go back to 10 outs format, we can’t even tell what’s going on. It’s becoming more of a comp of who can swing the most lol
Terrible coverage! You do not show home runs!
With todays technology, they should do 10 outs again, with total distance. That would be fun. Because guys would have to keep hitting and hit them far
最高の夢をありがとう！！
Imagine a home run derby where they use metal bats
They would explode😂
thats a danger to the pitcher, fielders and crowd
@wolfpack3140 breaking news today 14yr kid struck and killed by a 135 mph line drive"
Crowd seemed sleepy 😴 maybe from all the rain up there in Seattle
i miss chris berman!
選手のみんなお疲れ様
MLB機構はこれが参加者やファンの求める形だと思っているのか？
シーズンを闘う選手たちの体を大切にしてほしい
No more time limits either 10 outs have to comeback Julio hitting 40 home runs josh Hamilton would have hit 70 if this was 2008
the 10 outs is not as exciting
I'm so happy for Vlade! Joining his dad as an HRD winner is pretty awesome!!!
how come the big time homerun hitters are not in this?
Such as?
Judge and Ohtani both injured.
because they refused The reason is that this format puts a strain on the athlete's body.
Ohtani opted out and Yordan Alvarez and Judge were injured. It's kinda hard for players to commit to this when it's in the middle of the season.
I miss the old format.
Igualito a mi apa ❣️
Great job Randy , Go Rays
We need Stanton and or judge to do these big missed opportunities
god i love baseball
I wish I had seen Vladdy Jr play in the minor league level. I seen his dad play double A eastern league when Washington was in Montreal
Damn i was pulling for Randy
I can't believe no one bunted.
Schwarber: 👀👀
Next year bunt derby!
I thought the homerun derby was determined by who has the most homeruns in the 1st half.
Where's ohtani, where's Olson they are the leaders. I'm confused
I like this speed except the 440 rule it should be 3 in a row bonus
Worst cameras angles! I hate this new format!! We the people at home cannot watch and admire these homeruns because of the stupid camera angles!!!
I feel bad for adley cuase against others he could've won

Without Shohei … SO!
Imagine how many MORE fans & viewers & how much M💰RE when ShoTime’s in, or not.
~ He’s A GREATER INTERNATIONAL Ambassador than ALL of them combined. ~
10:56 😂👍
I don't like the brackets. Some really good guys got knocked out in the first round just because they happened to be placed with another great hitter. Plus, it forces hitters to go all out in the first round resulting in obviously fatigued hitters in the later rounds.
Everyone looked gassed and do we really need a three hour home run derby? Was a fun night nonetheless.
@@kermitfrog593what’s wrong with a 3 hour derby just means more entertainment for everyone I don’t see the problem 😂😂😂
@@Bigbullsfan I would break the 3 hr event down into various showcases and have the derby be the headliner, last an hour.
J rod is officially him
So bonus time is now 60 secs instead of 30
Bring the all star game back to atlanta. Not watching until you do.
This whole moment is so amazing. When they do home run derby It’s always memorable
The more they change the parameters of these home run derby's the worse they become...Not even fun to watch anymore...
Would have been better if people had time to enjoy the home runs, at least wait till they land before the nex pitch. It looked like a sh*t show on tv trying to watch both sides of the screen with a bunch of people running in the outfield making it look even more chaotic.
Platano Power!
anyone else find it very hard to enjoy the derby past the first round
Not when my guy Vladdy won it all. I watched with excitement and nervousness all night
CHANGE THE FORMAT
This format is awful, needs to go back to 10 out format. The crowd should focus on one ball at a time
I think the All-Star week should also have a skills competition.
For real the pitchers were so rushed. The announcers couldn’t even keep up
And That’s Baseball published a video yesterday recommending a format that goes by the number of pitches.
He agrees that the current format results in us not seeing the homers land and appreciating them, but also argues that the old format can take way too long to complete.
@@fortynights1513 It's like everything else IMO, run by TV execs and advertisers, who care about structured time, not quality of content.
@@fortynights1513My friend i were talking about adding a timer to the old format to keep it moving
THROW IT AGAIN, PETEY!
“Full Highlights” continues to cut out more than half the players homeruns, adley went from like 4-5 home runs, then somehow to 19..Share the dam home runs, I wanna see them
Let’s go Vlady
