Episode Details

Hunter Goodman’s crushing power isn’t just dominating the Rockies—it’s rewriting the home run record on the road with 18 homers, more than any other MLB player. Yet, he’s been snubbed from the Home Run Derby, sparking outrage over a selection process that favors flashy names over raw stats. While stars like Schwarber and Harper get the nod, Goodman—whose dad even prepped to pitch to him—has 27 homers and a wrist injury that barely slowed him. The snub highlights how the Rockies, despite Hall of Famers like Helton and Walker, remain overlooked. With players like Jac Caglianone (15 homers, batting practice flair) and Jordan Walker (a solid comeback) making the cut, the derby’s choices feel more about spectacle than substance. Goodman’s case is glaring: a true power threat, ignored despite his dominance.
