Believe the hype, folks. Needing 11 home runs to take the Home Run Derby title back to the Bronx, Aaron Judge hit that mark effortlessly. He took just two of his four allotted minutes to win his championship in front of a raucous packed crowd at Marlins Park.
In the end, Sano simply took too much time. His pace cost him a real shot at a title, as Judge hammered pitch after pitch into the seats with great regularity.
Although the hometown Miami Marlins fans didn’t get Giancarlo Stanton into the finals, the energy was outstanding.
