BOUR: The Marlins' first baseman put on a show for the hometown crowd, launching 22 home runs opposite Judge, who is MLB's home run leader. Bour called his timeout with just over a minute remaining and only one home run at 440 feet or greater, but he came back and mashed nine more, five of them exceeding 440 feet to easily clinch a bonus 30 seconds. Bour used that time wisely, adding three more to establish a new Round 1 high. LONGEST HR (EXIT VELO): 464 feet (110 mph)
HARDEST HR (DISTANCE): 113 mph (455 feet)
AVERAGE DISTANCE: 421.7 feet
AVERAGE EXIT VELOCITY: 107.1 mph
JUDGE: Faced with a sky-high number to beat and even higher expectations, Judge delivered in every way. For one thing, there was his 117-mph, 501-foot bomb that is the longest Statcast™ has tracked in its three years of Derby history, topping a 497-footer from Stanton last year. Judge hit six homers that had an exit velocity of 115 mph or harder and 23 in all, the last in bonus time to pass Bour and advance.
next time your boys interleague with the NL West. Judge needs to hit the glove.
If I had known then what I know now...

How many Home Runs you think Judge will hit in the 2nd half? My guess: 18 to end with 48 for the season. Could he reach 60? Will ther be excuses if he slumps in the 2nd half, because of the Derby?
I wish Judge would've hit first in the Derby, just to see how many he could've hit. Gotta give Bour a lot of credit. He just went up against a MONSTER!!
This one I actually liked better than Hamiltons run and only because I'm a Judge fan so I'm biased...
Yeah this was awesome. The new format is so cool. If I remember correctly, Hamilton was awesome but it was largely the first round he went insane
I have to look it up but I believe Hamilton jacked 28 in that first round. He kept on trying to hit it out of the park in left center. I never understood why he didn't try and put it over the short porch in right.
Aaron Judge hit a total of 47 home runs last night (48 if you count the one that HIT THE ROOF!) which is good for 2nd all time behind Giancarlo Stanton's 61 last year. However, Judge did this with approximately a full rounds worth of time left (4 minutes). Had he batted the full time in every round plus bonus time, his night might have looked something like this:
Round 1: 23 (full time)
Round 2: 13 in 3 minutes. (Avg 4.3/min) If he hit the full 4 minutes plus bonus time, he would have trended towards an extra 6.5 home runs. Theoretical Round 2: 19.5
Round 3: 11 in 2 minutes. (Avg 5.5/min) If he hit for the full 4.5 minutes, he would have had an extra 5.5 home runs x 2.5 minutes = 16.5! Theoretical Round 3 = 27.5 (also would have tied Josh Hamilton's single round record...if you round up!)
Had he batted earlier in the order and forced to bat the full time, he could have hit 70 home runs (plus or minus a few) which would have crushed Stanton's record of 61...

Some Home Run Derby math...
Aaron Judge hit a total of 47 home runs last night (48 if you count the one that HIT THE ROOF!) which is good for 2nd all time behind Giancarlo Stanton's 61 last year.

And he's a rookie...
Why isn't Frazier playing tonight?
