Nationals slugger Juan Soto wins Home Run Derby. Mets' slugger Pete Alonso's quest for three-peat ends with semifinal loss. LGM
Soto hit a 482-foot blast to right-center while beating Cleveland's José Ramírez 18-17 in the first round, and he got past 42-year-old Albert Pujols 16-15 to reach the final.
Soto hit the winning 415-foot homer with 20 seconds of bonus time to spare, then whipped his bat in the air before being swarmed by other Dominican All-Stars. His homers traveled a total of 5.41 miles. "Right now, I'm not even thinking about it," Soto said while hoisting the trophy over his head."I'm a champion, and I will be a champion for the Nationals."
Rodríguez became the third-youngest Derby finalist at 21 years, 201 days old, with only Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bryce Harper getting there quicker. Rodríguez also would have been the youngest Derby winner in major league history - but he could still earn that honor next year at home in Seattle's T-Mobile Park, since he'll still be younger than 23-year-old Juan González was when he raised the trophy in 1993.
