2nd matchup - (8) Rutschman vs (1) Robert Jr.
Rutschman: 27 (21 LHB + 6 RHB)
Robert Jr.: 28
Bummed for my boy Adley. Mad respect tho for the switch hitting performance. He showed out.
Adley with the 3rd most and is eliminated, that’s the drawback of a bracket format.
Yeah, the bracket format is not good for getting the best winner. But it is fun.
Though, it's almost too fast. They hit another ball before the first goes over the fence.
I went both days and the only things people were talking about on day 2 were JRod’s 41 (of course, it’s Seattle) and Adley’s switch hitting performance. Winning doesn’t seem to matter as much as showmanship and wow-factor. For the HR Derby, I’m good with that.
Adley's dad threw him several junk pitches. I wonder if he cost his son the round.
