@@Bigbullsfan They both took so many swings in the semifinals it was going to be difficult. You can only swing like that so many times. Either way, and no disrespect to Pete Alonso, this derby will be remembered for the Joc vs. Vlad round.
Let me guess you're 20? Big mac and sammy sosa had some battles too. Just because something or someone is awesome doesn't make it or them the best of all time
Epic is an understatement when it comes to this. Proud of my boy Joc, and I’m also super stoked to see this dude Vlad Jr crush more homers, just like his dad. Go Dodgers!
Great comment J. Rust. I am a lifelong Doyers fan and was cool to see Joc compete like that. However I loved watching Vlad Jr. too. His dad was such a masher, seems like yesterday watching him crush balls no matter where the ball was pitched...with no batting gloves. So cool to see sons of former players coming up (although it makes me feel quite old :(
Some Randy456 It sparked my interest in the derby once again. Baseball now is much better than it ever was in the steroid era. And that’s because I grew up on “Juiceball”
Yeah, but to be fair the MLB all star game is still better than the NBA one where defense is non existent and much better than the Pro Bowl where players that play in the Super Bowl don’t even play
Mexishooter JaFe They need to change the rules. Dude should not have lost hitting 91 home runs. All he did was expend a ton of additional energy. They need to cap the earlier rounds at 25. If the first competitor hits 25. He stops immediately. If his opponent hits 25, they immediately go to the 3 swing sudden death. That way, a guy isn’t hitting 30+ home runs in a round for nothing.
That was the greatest the home run Derby I ever watched in my entire life to see joc Peterson and Vladimir Guerrero Jr go at it in a home run derby best match up ever
30 hrs with the old format is alot harder than this.... this may be more entertaining but it's not as hard to hit alot of bombs when your taking way more swings
I'm just glad Joc dumped the idea of trying to hit more doubles the past two seasons. It wasn't working. He changed his approach back to hitting dingers and he's back in the HR Derby. Even more reason to not listen to Steve Vassegh. Petros and Money didn't listen to him when he was an intern there and look at the show now. It was great when Vassegh was on it, bit it's even better now. #dumpvassegh
SLASHISMYHOMMIE 818 his approach isn’t to hit home runs he said it’s just to “barrel up” the ball as well as possible. He uses a huge 40oz bat and totally shells it whenever he makes contact
Vlad Jr. 91 HRs!! Smashes the hr record by 30! Even without the extra hit-off in the second round he still hit 80 in the 3 rounds! 29-29-22 Just insane! Give that man the trophy!
Alonso was the second seed, he may have hit 70 to 75 if he was first seed. He had to walk off every time. Vladdy just hit as many as he could and Alonso hit as many as it took to win
Man I remember watching this and being stunned and in complete awe!! This was just two gladiators engaged in battle putting on a show of both physical and mental toughness!! No one will remember who won the Derby but we will remember this moment in time for years to come. This is as magical as the Josh Hamilton derby at Yankee Stadium! Cheers to both men you were the real champs!!
The most intense match up in history boy did they go at it !!! Amazing work by both players everyone thought Vladimir had it boy did he have a match up
Man I didn't get to watch this live but man I was amazed at how dope this was. Goosebumps at how clutch these guys performed. This is one of the greatest rounds in a Derby ever.
The match up was awesome the fans were awesome the atmosphere was awesome but the best thing was Vlad Jr’s sportsmanship like seriously going up giving Joc a big hug and congratulating him on that performance and doing the same with Alonso is what made me smile
Jacob Seymour most people will always remember vlad jr.’s performance and how he was the best in this derby he is sometimes regarded as the real winner
yeah, i didnt even remember who won this derby off the top of my head. i remember the best performance, this match, from the current best player in this comp
I remember watching this with my family and we were all cheering for Pederson but we were still happy for Guerrero because he was a rookie and we had high hopes for him even though we aren’t Jays fans. To Jays fan, y’all got a talented player in your hands
This should have been the last round. Would have been a crazy ending. Vladdy deserved it but this round 100% gassed him out for the final. Only 20 years old though. He will be back.
I’m a dodgers fan and whenever anyone asked me who had the most raw power on the team everyone thought I was crazy when I said Joc over Cody but this proves my point
I was so mad... I threw my dodgers hat on the ground, turned off the T.V and stomped upstairs to my room, clearly having a aggressive conversation with my twin sister. Lmao! 😂
@@clickbaitjr3390 bruh one of the balls only hit the top of the wall. It was mistaken at first to be a homerun but then they fixed it. The ball needs to.... you know leave the field to be considered a homerun.
Goddamn me and my cousin were running around screaming cause joc kept tying it and we were so happy he did then that other dude won that round and we got so sadddd
Como seguidor del béisbol y Dominicano m siento muy orgulloso del trabajo hecho por Vladimir Jr simplemente excelente 91 Jonrones recor d todos los tiempos en una competencia que a visto jugadores como Mark Mcgwire , Samy Sosa Many Ramírez, Barry Bond y Ken Griffin wao y el niño nuestro es el Rey con 91 repito
Sin la menor duda el mejor derby de todos los tiempos, ambos tienen mi admiracion tremendo par de atletas que parecian gladiadores en el cudrilatero buscando el triunfo nos hicieron sudar a todos . Me quito el sombrero antes Joc Pederson pero claro me inclino mas del lado de nuestro campeon Vlad Guerrero Felicitaciones. Dominicano y pico.
Urban Hymns yea I know but pederson isn’t the best dodger so he doesn’t get as much attention as Seager or Bellinger. And also Vlad Jr is in his rookie season and has only played 60 some games so u really can’t see how good he is quite yet also everyone knows vlad jr is going to be good.
I watched this live with my jaw on the floor 85% of the time I mean vlad Jr had like 7 swings in 12 seconds that sent balls 425+ feet each time this just proves how the young players are changing the game
So true! Alonso will have a huge contract or two in the near future! Bellinger also only making 605 k this year. No doubt there’s a lot of millions in their futures .
Joc Pederson: I’m going to take it easy this year and have fun with it.....
Hits 39 Home runs
When you hit 10 more home runs in a round than ANYONE has ever done in past years and STILL fail to advance.
Grandmaster Yoda I think of joc Peterson got to the Finals he would have won
Lol
The thumbnail tho

Dodgers fans should be proud of Joc! So nice of Joc to have his Brother Champ with him that brother love is One of a Kind! Best Derby in so long!
I’m a Dodger fan and I was really proud of him, but know he is just being thrown around the league 🥲
This was the greatest matchup in Home Run Derby history imo
Random Things I would like to see vlad v judge Bc vlad was doing this and judge was able to destroy anyone with showing that much effort
It wasn't just the best matchup ....it was honestly greatest home run derby or has to be all time
Random Things It’s a fact it was the best.
Let me guess you're 20? Big mac and sammy sosa had some battles too. Just because something or someone is awesome doesn't make it or them the best of all time
Agreed, they messed up the seeding, it should have been a Vlad vs. Joc final

This was easily the best and most exciting home run derby round ever.

Probably the fattest home run derby too
r mac Both kids aren’t even fat. They’re just chubby.
Griffey much?
@@rmac5584 vladdy may have a little cushion on him. But he can definitely run faster than you
This was unbelievable!!! I have so much more respect for Joc now!! This showed how much of a true competitor he is!!
Not gon lie I counted Joc out after the 29 bombs vlad hit but my god he proved me wrong. This was such an amazing duel.
Joc had the advantage easily
Everyone counted him out. They all won’t admit it
@@allenh3072 facts he sat the longest out of everyone and barely beat vladdy
Same I was like joc should just give up
Joc got 30
Home Run Derby = Krusty Krab
All Star Game = Chum Bucket
I have a seaweed moustache
Only thing good about the all star game is the player being mic'd
Alex Weaver it’s like that in every sport, the pre all star events are always better than the real game
That’s how it always is with all the sports (nba nfl)
Yeah, but to be fair the MLB all star game is still better than the NBA one where defense is non existent and much better than the Pro Bowl where players that play in the Super Bowl don’t even play

MLB has its equivalent of Gordon vs LaVine showdown
Because of this comment I watched this.
Ya like you said👍
Yeah
Sadly it was in the 2nd round and not the final round. Final round was underwhelming
dunkers, right?
We all know this should have been the real championship 😭
Best homerun derby matchup ever
Except Alonzo won lol
@@cyprobst9157 yeah because bro just hit 40 in a round and was gassed. If vladdy had energy it wouldn’t have been close
@@ajiboy1919 If he beat Pederson earlier, Alonso would not have lasted long.
@@flakcannonhans Vlad doesn’t have more power than Pete
Guess it's time to get rid of the "can't swing until the previous ball has landed rule" because no one after the first match-up was following it.
Ump was giving them the okay while ball was in the air.
Right
Ump was giving a second or so later. I think it was when the ball was descending.
The ruling is now apparently that you can pitch once the ball has crested/reached its max height
Andrew Pawlack well if thats the case its time to not be surprised when every hr derby record is shattered, like tonight
Watching this in 2022, man am I glad the SF Giants have Joc now!!! He’s a BEAST! 🧡🖤
I wish the braves kept him but we don’t have the space
Best homerun derby of all time
Since pete won its a nah

30 hrs with the old format is alot harder than this.... this may be more entertaining but it's not as hard to hit alot of bombs when your taking way more swings

It's like the Josh Hamilton year. If total hrs don't at least give you a tiebreaker then why even count them.

He had to walk off every time.

this as the final round would’ve been crazy!
Gio Jimenez let's just say it was. I don't think either would have won in the final, they were just too tired.
Vlad Sr. Was a hero to me growing up, dude had power. He must be so proud of Jr. Even though he lost this was awesome
Whoever won this round was gonna be exhausted for the final round, Alonso had it easy
And Vlad still gave him a run for his money
@@stillatin but did he win though
Literally what I thought.. he would’ve won if he was not tired
For real Pete had it way to easy but Vlad still gave him a hard time imo
Plus, VLAD went first
This was very fun watch thanks Joc and Guerrero jr. you guys are monsters with that Bat
