Julio Rodríguez announced himself to the baseball world with his performance in the Home Run Derby in 2022. The Mariners center fielder bashed 32 home runs in the quarterfinals, 31 in the semifinals and 18 in the finals en route to a second-place finish.
Monday evening, however, Rodríguez surpassed his feats from a year ago.
The Dominican Republic native hit 41 home runs in the quarterfinals at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, easily defeating Mets first baseman Pete Alonso and setting a record for most home runs in a single Derby round.
