All-Star Week Home Run Derby MLB All-Star Game Full 07/12/2021

Alonso hit 35 total home runs in the first round of Monday’s contest, setting a record for the opening round and collecting the third most in any round. Including a 514-foot shot, those homers traveled a total of 15,659 feet

Pete Alonso is your 2021 Home Run Derby champion, smacking scores of towering home runs in the thin air of Coors Field to become back-to-back champion. Alonso might have taken the crown, but the Derby was full of drama — from Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto battling it out in an epic double-overtime first round to Trey Mancini continuing his incredible comeback story by making it to the finals. To celebrate the midsummer festivities, we asked ESPN MLB experts Alden Gonzalez, Buster Olney, Jeff Passan, Jesse Rogers and David Schoenfield for their pre-Derby predictions and post-Derby takeaways.

Check out how accurate our experts were in their predictions, relive the biggest dramatic moments of the Derby, and see what it all means going forward.

Takeaways from the 2021 Home Run Derby
Dave Schoenfield: As much as we wanted to precook the “Shohei Ohtani shows us another reason he’s a superhero” story, the Home Run Derby is as unpredictable as real baseball — although after watching Pete Alonso defend his title with a dominating performance, maybe that particular result was predictable. His 35-homer onslaught in the first round matched Josh Hamilton’s epic round in 2008 and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s round in 2019 as the most exciting in Derby history, and then he walked it off in the final with six home runs in a row to beat Trey Mancini. Let’s do it again next year, Pete, and see if you can match Ken Griffey Jr. with three titles.

One final thought: Let’s bring back pre-humidor baseball to Coors Field. Embrace your altitude, Rockies. Sign some sluggers.

Jesse Rogers: The night might have belonged to Pete Alonso, but the highlight was Juan Soto and Shohei Ohtani’s first-round, double-overtime showdown. Remember way back when — like at the beginning of the season — it was Soto who was considered the heir apparent to Mike Trout as the best player in the game.

But Ohtani’s 33 home runs at the break combined with his pitching prowess might have led many to forget about Soto — at least a little. After all, he has just 11 home runs this season and he was the third-longest shot to win the Derby.

On this night, he was also the enemy. The packed house at Coors Field began chanting Ohtani’s name as his HR pace picked up during their match. It happened in the breaks between their overtimes as well.

The fans made it clear whom they wanted to win, so when Soto calmly hit the three pitches he saw over the fence in the second overtime, he beat Ohtani and a partisan crowd. And here’s another thing you might have forgotten: Soto is almost five years younger than Ohtani. That best-in-game label might not be far off after all.

Alden Gonzalez: Trey Mancini, 16 months to the day since being diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer, came excruciatingly close to defeating the reigning Home Run Derby champion and taking home the crown. Mancini hit 11 consecutive home runs to top Matt Olson in a thrilling first round, then cruised past Trevor Story, the hometown hero, in the second round and accumulated 22 home runs in the finals.

Mancini spent six months last season fighting through a biweekly chemotherapy program. He worked his way back with the Baltimore Orioles, earned his way to the Derby with a 16-homer first half and almost won the whole thing despite facing the second-longest odds to do so. He wanted to honor his longtime friend Ricky Palmer, who died of brain cancer in October — and he wanted to send a message to cancer survivors.

“I think it can set an example that you can go back to your normal life, even if you have this thing hanging over you sometimes,” Mancini said. “That’s the message that I really wanted to get across.”
