But it should be noted that he barely got through the first round. He and Brent Rooker hit an equal number of home runs, but Raleigh advanced due to having the longest dinger of that head-to-head round by just a few inches. Crazy!

Junior Caminero, providing he has a healthy career ahead of him, looks like a shoo-in to win the derby at some point in the near future.

And O'Neil Cruz clubbed a ball an astounding 513 feet, the longest of the night!
