Blue Jays star slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. put on a show at the Home Run Derby in Seattle on Monday, hitting a total of 72 homers and taking the crown by edging Randy Arozarena in the finals.
You know who also put on a show? Texas Rangers third-base coach, Tony Beasley. But it wasn’t the type of show that a hitter wants to see in the Derby.
Texas’ Adolis García, who has 23 homers so far this year, didn’t make it out of the first round after hitting just 17 dingers. One of the biggest reasons why he hit so few out?
This type of pitching by Beasley:

That’s not the type of stuff you want to see from your pitcher in a Home Run Derby.

Seriously, Beas is legend around the Rangers but that was awful. Slow pace and all over the place. https://t.co/ar4AJz4vEm

Lol hard to do damage in a home run derby when your pitching coach is up there turning over circle changes https://t.co/vOhw3XMgvU

There needs to be an investigation. You didn’t deserve that Adolis https://t.co/7sfgYMApMF

Your pitcher matters alot in this and Garcia probably had the worst pitcher of the night! https://t.co/82LXriSE1O

Should add Beasley to our bullpen, he could probably help after what he showed tonight 😂 https://t.co/x7tnn9APsq
