Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was crowned 2024 Home Run Derby champion after defeating Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. in the finals. Hernandez slugged 14 homers in the final round, one more than Witt, to become the first Dodgers player to win the Derby title.
Buxton, finally healthy last winter, coached his son's 11U team and rediscovered his love for baseball. Now he's an All-Star again.
Byron Buxton is looking forward to participating in next Monday’s Home Run Derby, calling it a “once in a lifetime” opportunity. That’s because the event is being held in Atlanta, just hours away from his hometown of Baxley, Ga.
This home run sparked a lot of good reactions from Woods's fellow MLB stars. His Derby opponent Byron Buxton of the Minnesota Twins had a spot-on reaction when the camera panned to him. His jaw was dropped, similarly to how a lot of MLB fans at home looked when Wood crushed that ball.
