Good morning, Birdland!
Well, he only lasted one round, but it was a really fun round. Adley Rutschman blasted 20 home runs from the left side of the plate, and then parked seven more from the right side in extra time. Ultimately, it wasn’t enough to beat out top-seeded Luis Robert Jr., but it was one of the most memorable moments from an exciting Home Run Derby.
Rutschman will also be remembered for two other things: having his dad serve as derby pitcher (cute!) and that headband (CUTE!). We love someone that both cares for his family and remains a fashion icon.
