Just call him the bracket buster.
Rhys Hoskins entered the T-Mobile Home Run Derby as the No. 8 seed in the field of eight, but he took down No. 1 seed Jesus Aguilar with a dizzying dinger display of 17 first-round homers to Aguilar's 12.
Hoskins might not be accustomed to leadoff duties, but he seemed to relish the role on a night in which he was the first player to step to the plate. He had joked before the Derby about Aguilar, who is listed at 6-foot-3, 250 pounds, being "big and scary," but Hoskins showed no fear in his first Derby appearance.
