July 11, 20232 yr A lot of people before last night probably didn't know much if any about Luis Robert and now they do. That first round showed everyone he has as much power as any player in baseball, evidenced by the 484 foot HR, which was the furthest hit of the night. Keep in mind this is an exhibition contest and a total non-reality of home run production during the real games. It's strictly for the fans and by no means a true measure of a home run hitter. Case in point, Mookie Betts struggled last night. However Betts is as good of a home run hitter as anyone in baseball this year being tied for 3rd with 26 HR's along with Robert and Alonso. Keep in perspective, Guerrero Jr. has only 13 home runs this season. Big deal he wins a HR derby.
