Top MLB Home Run Derby Performers
Current and Historical Record Holders
The Major League Baseball (MLB) Home Run Derby is an annual event that showcases the league's top power hitters. Prince Fielder, Yoenis Céspedes, and Pete Alonso hold the record for the most wins, with three victories each. The overall record for home runs in a single Derby is held by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who hit 91 in 2019.
Notable Participants and Performances
Only three players have won multiple Home Run Derbies: Yoenis Céspedes, Giancarlo Stanton, and Pete Alonso. In 2022, Julio Rodriguez made history as a rookie by hitting 32 home runs in the first round, the most by any rookie in the event's history. Other notable Derby champions include Ken Griffey Jr. and Aaron Judge.
Pete Alonso's Dominance
No player in the 21st century has dominated the Home Run Derby like Pete Alonso, the New York Mets' first baseman. Alonso has won the event twice and is known for his exceptional power and ability to hit tape-measure home runs.
