Max Muncy is representing the Dodgers in the Home Run Derby, and will move on to the second round.
Muncy’s matchup with Javier Baez was the third of four matchups in the first round, and just like the regular season, Muncy surprised everybody with his power. Baez went first and hit 16 homers, a pace that looked tough since 17 was the highest for anybody up to that point.
The Dodger first baseman came out slugging and passed Baez with 32 seconds to spare.
Muncy will take on the hometown favorite Bryce Harper in the second round.
