For the first time in the history of the Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Game Home Run Derby, there is a “rich man’s king.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (24, Toronto Blue Jays) defeated Randy Arozarenas (28, Tampa Bay Rays) 25-23 in the final game of the MLB Home Run Derby at T-Mobile Park in Seattle on Nov. 11 to take home the first-place prize of $1 million (approximately $1.29 billion).

Batting first in the final, Guerrero Jr. sent 25 pitches into the stands, including two 445-foot home runs. After hitting 35 home runs in the second round, Arosarena was limited to 23 in the final.

Guerrero Jr. became the first Toronto player to win the Home Run Derby after losing the title in 2019 to Pete Alonso (29-New York Mets). Guerrero Jr.’s first-place finish also marks the first time in 16 years that a father and son have won the Home Run Derby, following his father, Guerrero Sr. (48), who won the title with the Los Angeles Angels in 2007.카지노

“Great race,” Guerrero Sr. wrote on social media. Proud of you son,” Guerrero wrote on social media.

Ken Griffey Jr. holds the record for most Home Run Derby wins with three (1994-1998-1999). Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Angels, 32), the MLB’s overall home run leader for the first half of this year, did not participate in the Home Run Derby.
