Rodriguez hot out of the gate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rookie nerves? Not for Julio Rodriguez. The 21-year-old phenom put together one of the most impressive rounds in Home Run Derby history, finishing with 32 home runs. He started out hitting a series of high fly balls that scraped over the fence, transitioned into some low screaming liners that cleared the fence, then starting bashing a few that cleared the whole dengue stadium.<\/p>\n

Pre-Derby predictions<\/h2>\n

Who is going to win the Home Run Derby and whom will he beat in the final?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gonzalez: <\/strong>Soto was not happy to be thrown into trade rumors right before the All-Star break, and this is the perfect place for the game’s best pure hitter to channel his anger. Soto has been scorching hot this month and will dethrone Pete Alonso in the finals. He’ll do so by whacking a bunch of opposite-field homers, too.<\/p>\n

Olney:<\/strong> Soto will go head-to-head with Alonso, and it’ll be like Ali-Frazier, with Soto barely edging the defending champion.<\/p>\n
