Home Run Derby MVP? Dodgers’ Miguel Rojas Explains His Surprise Pick

Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández shined at the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby. His 14 home runs defeated Kansas City Royals’ shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. 14-13. Hernández became the first Dodgers player and the seventh Domincan-born player to win the derby in MLB history.

If there was a Home Run Derby MVP award, Miguel Rojas had a certain Dodger teammate in mind — a selection based on character more than home run-hitting ability.

“I got a mention, a special mention, to Tyler Glasnow. I called Tyler Glasnow the MVP of the night. He was with Teo the whole night, and right next to him throughout every round, every time out,” Rojas said to Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain.
