The final home run of tonight’s 2019 MLB Home Run Derby presented by T-Mobile traveled 429 feet. It was the 57th home run hit by the Mets’ rookie first baseman Pete Alonso over the competition’s two and a half hours and it netted him a cool $1 million.
It was not the coolest part of the night, though. He and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. survived a gauntlet of fatigue, uncooperative pitching, and a pesky wall in left field that made it trickier for right-handed power hitters to get their dingers in.
