Is this like the "best dunk" rankings where you just don't count Ohtani because it's so obviously him

That he should grow greens instead of crushing on MCs

Ohtani would win this by throwing BP to himself

I don’t dislike Alonso or anything but I enjoy the gimmick of Julio just owning him after all the goofy derby zen nonsense he does.

Yeah. I worried I was jinxing Julio declaring him the winner but like if Alonso could top that then hood on him.

But he ain’t gonna.

I love that Julio crushed that many but this entire event comes down to your pitcher. Why would you ever use your old rear end dad.

Seriously, those were pitches that pitchers try to get him to chase during games

If the pitchers of the 2 were switched Alonso might still be in it.

It is unfortunate Pete's pitcher got hurt and he had to go with a back-up choice, and he's certainly capable of having an amazing performance, but it's hard to be too sore about it because Julio's first round was so nuts. Rooting for him to go all the way at his home field now, I think.
