Guerrero Jr. would finish with 91 home runs, losing to Pete Alonso in the final. Nevertheless, his 91 homes are a new single derby record, surpassing Giancarlo Stanton’s 61 from 2016, according to MLB.
He set another record as the youngest derby competitor at the Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio. He delivered two solid rounds of 29 home runs. He surpassed the record for most home runs in a single round that had been set by Josh Hamilton’s 28 at the old Yankee Stadium in 2008.
