Very interesting. Jays take 17 year old high school SS Arjun Nimmala. First Indian background player apparently taken. Was ranked #11 on mlb.com. Sounds like high upside a lot down the road.

Kumar Rocker was the first Indian-American picked third overall last year by the Rangers.

Rutschman switches sides for the bonus time and absolutely rakes. That was fun to watch. If Vladdy doesn't win this I wouldn't mind Rutschman

I am a sucker for the home run derby. The player vs player format is fun even if it tends to reward guys who don’t burn themselves out by hitting too many bombs early.

Ha. What a show by Julio. He's going to send that dweeb Alonso packing.

Can't see Julio not taking this event tonight. He's going to challenge Vladdy's record from '19 too.

That's the new record for a single round. That was incredible. Perfect pitches and a perfect swing to pull the ball.

Watching Alonso lose in 1st round is worth the price of admission alone

My guess is that it's going to be Arozerena and J-Rod in the final. Their swings are short and built to pull the ball with minimal effort.

Ability of the pitcher is a major factor on how well these guys can do.

JRod just ran out of steam. Vladdy on to the finals but he looks exhausted lol.

They sure give Arozerana a long time to rest.
