Julio just went OFF
Pete had no chance but he did not do great lol his pitcher didn’t help
It's a double edged sword that the batter who goes first is so punished by the format. On the one hand, Julio hit almost twice as many as he actually needed to to advance, and going that hard in the first round clearly took a bit of a toll on him and negatively affected his second-round performance. But on the other hand, it was absolutely awesome to see him just unload like that in the first round, holy shit.
