Pete Alonso won the Home Run Derby for the second year in a row. There is a 0:28
The Home Run Derby will take place in Los Angeles next week.
The return of one of the Derby's most successful hitters has been confirmed by Major League Baseball.
Alonso told reporters in the Mets' locker room that it was fun. I'm really excited about it.
Alonso won the Home Run Derby for the second year in a row, defeating Baltimore Orioles' first baseman. Alonso hit 74 home runs, totaling 6.35 miles.
Alonso said after the win that he was the best power hitter in the world. It's a dream come true for me because when I was a kid, my parents would let me stay up late to watch this. It was one of the few nights a year where I was able to stay up past my sleep time and watch amazing feats that you don't see in a baseball game.
Next Monday will be his stage as he takes a break from a regular season that has New York fans thinking about a playoff run. The Mets have a 53-33 record and are in first place in the NL East. Alonso leads the team with 23 home runs and a.273 batting average.
Alonso became the third player in the last 20 years to win back-to-back titles after New York bench coach Dave Jauss pitched to him.
At the time, Alonso said it was "just unbelievable". It's a wonderful thing.
Jauss will be the pitcher next week, according to Alonso.
