July 19, 20224 yr Only 2 batters so far, and this is already one of the best HR derby I have seen in years! I’m not crazy about the relatively new timed format, although it does make things move faster, I miss the old format with outs, because it gave some time to see reactions and gave a few seconds to enjoy the HRs. But that Julio Rodriguez/Corey Seager first round was great!

When I was younger I was more of an overall baseball fanatic like watching Baseball tonight on ESPN everyday and stuff. I usually learn about newer players when the Marlins play different teams. And actually I think I missed the Marlins vs. Mariners series earlier this year. So yeah, there are so many players I have no idea about. 😂
