milb Marte homerun derby final

Andy Marte is on hitting them out as part of the home run derby at milb.com if you care...you can see Marte's stroke right now 5:53 PST. He's rocketing them out in the round before the final. The commentators are noting his easy stroke.  He's up to 12 in this round. He's up against Ryan Ludwick, I believe in ths final round.

Re: milb Marte homerun derby final
So Marte beat Ludwick in the final round 6-5, retiring after having just 6 of the 10 outs once he passed Ludwick.

In the the three rounds he had:

10
12
6  on just 6 of 10 outs

...which far outpaced the other contestants.

Don't know exactly know what it means for him as a hitter in game siutations, but he has a sweet stroke.

Re: milb Marte homerun derby final
I always worry about derbys messing up a players stroke. Let us hope he keeps his June swing going.

Re: milb Marte homerun derby final
Does anyone have any idea who has won the Milb Homerun derby in the past?  Or is it usually people like Marte's compitition, Ryan Ludwick?

I don't know, but I noticed Luke Scott was in there this year, too.

Re: derbys messing up a players stroke.  Don't forget that Albert credited a derby for 2nd half surge in '95...
