Bobby Witt Jr. - 2024 MLB Home Run Derby - 50 Home Runs

but just you know just hit it over 420 exactly in the bonus round I wonder how many had hit over 420 guys in here like alono maybe like gun there maybe even know they're the favorite what was that like to be that guy I have no idea I didn't consider myself I consider myself the favorite I just was a competitor uh that just uh the later it got vision during oh no no no no no no no that's you only get 10 swings you know important is that to hit the ball out in front you have to be able to do what you and Todd did in the deries and that's to keep it fair obviously given what we just saw B do he's got to kind of find it he's hitting the ball a lot harder and higher than his line drives during the regular season but he's come up short quite a bit guys I talked to Salvador Perez who just spoke with Bobby Whit Jr during the break asked him what he told him he said hurry up now the group's coming right here oh get on top [Applause] Tomahawk out a line laser shot there's a big blast to left center field it's amazing what the timeout has done for Bobby wit Jr whose average home run distance during a years about 418 it's another one that should should climb up and does he's got five more with 40 seconds got plenty of time here and what he had told me he said Eddie I need to pull the baseball I'm not thinking about right field at all mine is my PO to the bull side if I miss it wow that could happen right there that was easy power there from Bobby Wick J there's another one good job of using the legs on that one all had some really good success here but no Royal players ever won that that is launched that should go that's got to go oh my way gone Way Gone sit on the te basically well that one did and that should be enough to get over and it is that's a great job that's a great job of being patient you're right about that Junior like here in this second round and wow as this one goes deep how tired they get and how quick oh hey heads up over there it's his swing he's so tight to his body close to his body there's not a lot of moving Parts when it comes to that bat head it's so quick in and out of the zone as well wh that one hit the top of the foul pole yeah there's another Moon shot that's going to clear the fence finding a little groove right now again in pulling the [Music] ball up to five homers that six right there Hees this thing so w Jun will now after his time on and he just hit a one a mile I feel like wit would be a good golfer the way he's was the B James Russell laid that one in there and wit sent it to left Center and out there's another one that's going out is comfortable Whit is comfortable these are skyrockets up there too hey guys I talked to James Russell after the first round I said what was that like he said exhilarating it's nothing like pitching in the big leaks and he said he just needed to slow down and get into a good Rhythm this is a really good number being put up by Bobby wit Jr here and that's a hooking one towards that pole oh just barely found well he's in a groove right now FR I mean a Groove this is what we've wanted to see this whole time his final pitch oh my boy left Center and tattooed what a show Bobby Whit Jr just put on on 17 Guerrero junr and stto have hit more balls 95 mph or harder than this guy there's the incredible list since the 1st of August when it comes to war ahead of everybody and that is going to send Bobby Wood Jr into the finals and his opponent with 37 home runs tonight from the Kansas City Royals Bobby [Music] with [Music] Junior minutes so he doesn't have many and he needs to get going there's one right there and he's got to understand something he has the bonus round so find a way to get in double oh boy smacks that one number two there looks like number three to left field needs it yeah to be able to provide the perfect pitches he calls timeout and he has just hit his fourth so he needs 10 to tie on reaches out and did he get that one to go five as far as the number of people than the pressure that one's got a chance that's just his strength right there as he bullied that one out there's another that's going out oh pitches seven homers oh baby incoming Bullpen area line shot won't get out he's got eight and if you notice he's wearing his hat the same way that he wore it when he won it in high school he didn't give himself a real chance there is one send High towards left and another one one goes out the second one oh my out another one one goes out and he's got himself in a great SP here we go baby why not tongue out the theatrics I love that and now Bobby wit Jr is down to his last out and he needs three homers make it good let's see if he can hit one ey here look at that W that may have bought him a bonus may have B bonus get a poop bag that was way out there wo he bought himself a bonus he needs two to [Applause] tie Edo War the tie for Bobby with everyone on their feet that Globe Life oh he swung at a bad pitch
