Teoscar Hernández is the new MLB Home Run Derby champion.
Hernández beat Kansas City Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. in the final round of the Home Run Derby on Monday at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas — after a very interesting rendition of the national anthem. Hernández just barely beat Witt in the final round as Witt's last attempt, which could've tied Hernández, came up painfully short.
Hernández is the first Los Angeles Dodgers player to win the Home Run Derby and the seventh Dominican-born player to win the event.
