Julio Rodríguez GOES OFF for 81 home runs in Home Run Derby (NEW RECORD!) 

Julio bats first each time and has to get as much as he can. Soto bats second every time and only has to hit one more than opponent. Nice job MLB

“Hits 81 home runs in Home Run Derby…..doesn’t win Home Run Derby” -MLB

So freaking proud of Julio!!! Seattle is so proud!! He stole the show last night! Everyone knows who Julio Rodriguez is now! Welcome to the J-ROD SHOW!!!!

The first Home Run Derby I watch intently was 2008 when Josh Hamilton went off at Yankees Stadium. This young kid gave me those same feels yesterday. Julio is impressive

Let's appreciate the pitcher perfect throw everytime

Someone give his pitcher some credit! He was dialed in!

if Julio participates in the Seattle 2023 Home Run Derby, he'll definitely become the youngest to ever win it!

I think Julio Rodríguez will be a legend in the future

Sad he lost! But he's still AMAZING!!!! GO M'S!!!!

It should be who hit the most home runs total!

My friend told me today that someone hit over 80 dongs in this years derby and I called bullshit, I just didn't believe it. Low and behold not only was I wrong but this guy is a rookie as well. Man oh man.... this kid is going to be special. Hold on to this one Seattle and don't lose him like all the others.

Yeah, cool format MLB. Soto won by negative 28 homeruns; obviously the best HR hitter.

It's amazing...Great Julio.

Next year is an all-star game in Seattle! Do you think Julio Rodríguez will be in a home run derby?

Soto got the trophy, but J-Rod won.

Him and the dude throwing him had a connection almost immediately, it was a joy to watch!

watching this and the broadcaster saying " watch out seattle you have a star" as if everyone of us mariner fans didnt know that he is the future of this league !! BIG things to come for Jrod !! glad he got a grand stage to show the world that he is FOR REAL !! LETS GO MARINERS LETS GO JROD !

Major respect to him✊

GO MARINERS!

There was a stretch where he bombed maybe 8 straight pitches in a row out to left center, thing of beauty!

Ken Griffey with the Cam on Julio will be looked at again in 20 years

It's J-Rod's world, we're jall just iving in it

It was disappointing to see him lose but at least it was to another future great like Soto. I hope we see a repeat next year in Seattle and Julio takes the Derby chain from him. Go M's!!!

Julio was unbelievable last night. Go M’s!!!

Going second is way too big of an advantage for later in the event, when guys going first are tired.

Not saying he was robbed but there is a better way to do the derby. No bracket. Just everyone against each other, and all the homeruns carry over and count. After everyone has a round the bottom 3 are eliminated. After the 2nd round, 3 more are eliminated. Then you have the final 2. It might not always be close, but at least the person with the most homeruns ends up winning, and we don't have to see any "walk offs" to advance to the next round. Just hit as many as you can in the time given.

Julio has entered his household name era

Vlad "Wait for your pitch" The most non-Vladimir Guerrero advice ever 😄

Kuddos to Franmy Peña from the DR for a master class pitching!

Maybe he told the pitcher where to throw but damn they were so close on the inside of the plate

Not a new record. Vladdy had 91. The disrespect...

Those kids out there in the outfield, I’m surprised they don’t get nailed with these balls sometimes. I mean, how can they stop a line drive going 100 mph?

It's a damn shame that he didn't win despite beating the previous champ and hitting way more HR than anyone else.

I miss the old HR derby

Crazy he’s third in the league in steals as well

New record? Vladdy had 91!

He so deserves the win

Julio went off for second. Not too shabby.

He’s swing is butter

didn’t vladdy set the record at 91 in 2019?

He should have won these rules are bunk

Crazy thing is that Julio ended up hurting his wrist in this thing and still broke the record, next year he will have the experience and will know exactly how to stay healthy and preform. Plus it’s in Julio’s house.

Dodger Stadium became this man's sandbox

They should change the format to include total HRs hit. For example, if the entire clock was used every attempt (including the second hitter) and Soto comes into the final round with 5 less TOTAL HRs he should have to make up for that deficit to win.

No one is gonna remember Juan Soto's name but Julio's name will be at the top of most HRs ever for a very very long time right below's Vladie...

Such clickbait. He didn't set the record.

vlad has 91???

I’m more impressed with Rodriguez pitcher, same spot almost everytime. Rodriguez could have added another one had his pitcher did turn around for that 5 seconds to watch

That's not a record, Vlad Guerrero Jr. hit 91 homers in 2019

The catcher was telling the pitcher come on hurry up.

The new Hammer

Hits 81 dingers and loses. OK mlb...

これ見たら日本のホームランダービーとはレベルが違いすぎる、フリオ大好き

So many time the guy who hits the most does win ! Smh ! He burned himself out for the last round !

How is he not the Winner…. The rules shouldn’t have changed!!!!!

Should have won the dearby smh

I wish Julio won

Hmm Maybe the Mariners have something here bright young stars, lets turn this into winning games. My Oh My.

He woulda did even better if the dude pitching did a better job smh !

didn't Vlad hit 90 in 2019 due to the multiple swing offs with Joc Pederson?

Little funky of a format but thems the rules. Would of been nice to of seen Julio and Soto with the same amount of time. That many swings has gotta take it out of ya.

What does "Goes off" really mean?

I wish they would have invited Bobby Witt Jr... It would have been the battle of the rookies. I mean junior has 13 dingers, three less than Julio.

It’s so dumb he didn’t win

MLB All Star Game In Seattle 2023

Vladdy had 91 in 2019 how is this a new record?

So how does he not win? I'm confused

Julio Coolio Rodriguez y'all better recognize buy rookie cards now

It's funny how the MLB hypes a young, upcoming slugger for that years HR derby and then when some other rookie slugger is on the come up and takes the reign they totally ignore the previous guy they were hyping like Vlad who? MLB said Rodriguez set a record of 81, but didn't Vlad jr hit 91 in 2019 HR derby?? They clearly hype these dudes for ratings to try to get people interested. The new structure of the HR Derby is cool, but as a kid growing up watching Griffey jr win the derby in the 90s, I'm still a fan of and prefer the old school way where they have a certain amount of out to get as many home runs as possible.

New record? didn't vladdy have 91 homeruns in 2019?

He’s injured now

We all know who is the real derby champ

There is something wrong in home run Derby...

I don’t think players should be able to watch the guy they are facing

Julio won

And yet he didn't win...really need to change these rules. Don't brag about a new record after denying him the trophy.

Not first 😞

The home run derby format is awful

This format sucked. He should have been the winner.

I think Julio Rodríguez couldn't win because he lost his strength on the way.

ROBBED

And still lost to Juan Soto 😂
