ARLINGTON, Texas — The last time Cleveland Guardians third baseman José Ramírez participated in the Home Run Derby, he was quickly eliminated. This year, participating in the slugfest once again, Ramírez fared better but ultimately didn't walk away with the victory.
Phillies' Alec Bohm had hit 21 home runs, Royals' Bobby Witt Jr. hit 20, Dodgers' Teoscar Hernández hit 19, Rangers' Adolis García hit 18 and Mets' Pete Alonso hit 12. The top four batters advanced to the semi-finals, giving Ramírez an initial target of at least 18, with two batters following him. The semifinal format saw the No.1 spot face the No. 4 spot and No 2. spot against the No. 3 spot, putting Ramírez up against Whitt. In Witt's semifinal at-bat, he hit 17 home runs, including the bonus. To advance, Ramírez needed 18, or the longest home run of the round.
