Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. beats Tampa Bay Rays’ Randy Arozarena 25-23 in the finals to win the 2023 Home Run Derby
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. eliminated record-setting hometown favourite Julio Rodriguez in the semi-finals and then made history of his own Monday night.
Guerrero Jr. nearly accomplished the feat in his first appearance in 2019, losing to Pete Alonso in the finals. Four years later he proved he had learned from that experience, using his timeouts wisely en route to winning all three of his matchups. After opening with 24 homers, good for only fifth most in the first round, Arozarena put on a display by smashing 35 in the semi-finals. He easily dispatched top-seeded Luis Robert Jr., with the Chicago White Sox star fading after a decent start to finish with 22 long balls.
