And when you look up, it’s going to be Mike Moustakas and Charlie Blackmon, and there’s not a damned thing you’ll be able to do about it. As the defending champion, Stanton is seeded No. 1 overall in the eight-player field, with the rest of the players ranked by home runs hit through Tuesday, July 4. On June 17, Stanton hit his 361st home run during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays, tying Joe DiMaggio as the 84th Yankees player on the all-time list. However, it took Stanton 1,800 fewer at-bats to achieve this feat. On June 25, Stanton hit a ground ball for the final out of a Houston Astros combined no-hitter, the first no-hitter pitched against the Yankees in 19 years.

A little bit of a lull now, with three more in his next minute, and he very expertly calls his time out. In comes Marlins teammate Jose Fernandez with a bottle of Gatorade, surely the Mickey Goldmill to Stanton's Rocky. Or Duke to Apollo, if that's what you prefer. He's hitting some real Trumbombs so far (I'm sorry), but he's been on top of the ball a lot. It's going to be hard to match Seager's total. He just hit one on top of the Metal Supply Co.

We just don’t know yet, but we have suggestions. Of those six, none have gone on to win the Derby. Sammy Sosa was the closest to a win, losing in the finals in 2002 after his historic 2001 season.

The impact resulted in multiple facial fractures, lacerations, and dental damage. On September 17, the Marlins announced that Stanton would not play the last two weeks of the 2014 season. In 145 games, Stanton batted .288 with 37 home runs, 105 RBI, 94 walks , a .555 slugging percentage, and a .950 OPS.

But the history of the Derby tells us that the flashiest names often fizzle in the spotlight.

Justin Bour, Marlins

He became the first Marlins player to win the Home Run Derby. This is how it will almost certainly be for the 2017 Home Run Derby. Rob Manfred would sacrifice a chicken to get it.

He was also the first player in the National League since Prince Fielder in 2007 to hit 50 or more home runs in a season. Despite not being selected to the 2016 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, Stanton was among those representing the National League in the 2016 version of the Home Run Derby. Stanton won the Derby with 61 total home runs, setting a new record for most home runs in a single Derby. Stanton hit the 10 longest home runs and 18 of the 19 longest among the eight competitors.

Sano got off to a slow start, but eventually he found a groove. Some of his smashes would've left park had the windows been open. Finished with 11, with five of more than 440 feet. If there is justice in the universe, Stanton and Judge will meet in the Home Run Derby final, and they’ll be responsible for folktales that are told after the collapse of civilization.

In front of an energized crowd and a worldwide audience on ESPN and MLB.com, Stanton showcased his remarkable strength in all three rounds. In the finals, he went first and put the third-seeded Frazier on the defensive. Of Stanton's 20 homers, 11 went 440 feet or more.

Semifinals: Sanchez vs. Sano; Judge vs. Bellinger

Stanton played 158 games in 2018, finishing the year with a .266 batting average, 38 home runs, 34 doubles, and 100 RBI. He also struck out 211 times, breaking the Yankees record previously set by Aaron Judge. For the fourth consecutive year, he hit the ball with the highest exit velocity of the season in the major leagues, which was 121.7 miles per hour. He also tied for the major league lead in sacrifice flies . At the time of his season-ending hand injury in June, Stanton had played only 74 games but hit 27 home runs, with a batting average of .265.

After taking a timeout, Stanton found his groove with hits traveling 482, 485, 492, 480, 487 and 489 feet. All of those came within the next minute-and-a-half. With 15 seconds on the clock, Stanton needed a few more. He launched two more, traveling 455 and 471. The performance started off very slow.

As advertised, Stanton was a show stopper whose first round will go down in Home Run Derby lore. His 497-foot drive is the longest home run ever projected by Statcast™. The farthest regular-season homer is by Kris Bryant of the Cubs, who connected on a 495-foot shot on Sept. 6, 2015, off Arizona's Rubby De La Rosa. In the first round, Stanton was matched against the Mariners' Robinson Cano, the fourth seed. It became a mismatch as Stanton racked up 24 homers to Cano's seven. "He was hitting moonshots," marveled Frazier afterward.

Springer and Thames could both draw a fair amount of interest from fans. Springer is one of the best players on the best team in baseball. After spending a few years in Korea, he’s returned to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to the top of the National League Central. Stanton's mother calls him "Cruz" , but his father and other relatives call him "Mike" or "Mikey". As a child, he was known as Giancarlo, but switched to Mike in sixth grade because he was tired of being mocked for his original name and having it mispronounced.

It also forced Stanton to up his pace as the pressure of 17 home runs proved too heavy to complete. Stanton, who won the 2016 event with 61 total home runs, just had to be a part of this event. He’s the face of Miami’s franchise, and it wouldn’t have been right to have a Home Run Derby in Marlins Park without him. Glad that was taken care of quickly. Call GAMBLER.

The defending champion put on a hitting display last year in San Diego, mashing the 20 hardest hit balls of the entire contest. Following his timeout, with a minute remaining, he's up to 14 home runs. And he's now tied Adam Duvall, and now he's walked off with his 16th home run with just over 30 seconds left.

Gary Sanchez, Yankees

On December 11, 2017, the New York Yankees acquired Stanton and cash considerations from the Marlins for Starlin Castro and minor leaguers Jorge Guzmán and José Devers. He is the second player in major league history to be traded after a 50-homer season, Greg Vaughn being the first. Here comes Myers, the hometown boy, who hits off his younger brother. He's going to have to play catchup fast to stay in this thing. He resumes with a little more success, but finishes regulation time with just 10 homers. He hit some long-looking ones, but they were right down the line and not as long as they looked.

New York Yankees phenom Aaron Judge, who leads the league with an eye-popping 30 homeruns at the break has the second-best odds at 7/4. Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger, who is tied for 5th with Mike Moustakasin of the Kansas City Royals in home runs with 25 rounds out the top 3 with 6/1 to win the Home Run Derby. • His average exit velocity on home runs was 111.9 mph. The next highest was Trumbo at 108.5 mph. The other seven hitters had an average exit velocity of 105.4 mph on their homers.

Home Run Derby 2017: Predicting the winners, round by round

On August 30, Stanton hit his 300th home run, off Francisco Liriano, becoming the 147th player in MLB history to do so. Before Game 2 of the World Series, Stanton was presented with the Hank Aaron Award, the second of his career, as the "most outstanding offensive performer" in the National League. On November 16, Stanton was named the National League's Most Valuable Player, beating out Cincinnati Reds' first baseman Joey Votto by two voting points. The ball made contact with a scoreboard in the outfield which resulted in the panels hit getting knocked out momentarily. Moyer had not given up a grand slam since 2004. That incredible, sweet left-handed swing that obliterates baseballs and has the Dodgers rookie looking like the next Babe Ruth.

We'll see whether tonight provides a different story. Moustakas looked like he'd easy pass Sano's 11 dingers, but he couldn't launch the final tater to tie. He probably eats a balanced breakfast. Here's a breakdown at the moment of contact.

Winner: Aaron Judge, super-human baseball man

The NL-best 24 home runs are nice, but mostly it’s about putting the most mesmerizing left-handed swing since Ken Griffey Jr. front and center on the national stage. Because you can’t strike out in a home-run derby. Really, though, we all love to watch moon-shot home runs, and Gallo is a master of the moon shot.

If there is justice in the universe, Stanton and Judge will meet in the Home Run Derby final, and they’ll be responsible for folktales that are told after the collapse of civilization.

In 119 games of 2016, Stanton batted .240 with 27 home runs and 74 RBI. He again hit the ball with the highest exit velocity in the major league all season, at 120.1 miles per hour. He also hit the longest home run of the season in the major leagues, a 504-foot home run. He missed 22 games in August and September after suffering a grade 2 hamstring strain, originally thought to be season-ending. Named NL Player of the Week on August 13, Stanton had hit his 250th career home run earlier in the day versus the Colorado Rockies. For the week, he generated a major league-leading six home runs and 11 RBI and averaged 1.037 SLG and 1.416 OPS.

The players were seeded one through eight based on home run totals through Wednesday. Stanton hit 20 homers in the final round, which came after an opening round in which he hit 24, becoming the first player to reach 20 home runs in two rounds of a Derby. While Stanton has the best odds to win, he holds that lead by the slimmest of margins.

Hours later, the Marlins finalized a trade with the Giants, but Stanton again used his no-trade clause to veto the offer. On November 17, 2014, the Marlins and Stanton agreed to a 13-year, $325 million extension, the most lucrative contract in sports history. The deal included a no-trade clause and Stanton could opt out of the contract after he turns 30.

He is the product of an experiment by the architect of your simulation. No, these are just two of the best home run hitters who have ever lived, aesthetically speaking. There don’t need to be layers with this.

Home Run Derby odds: Giancarlo Stanton looks to defend title as betting favorite

"I thought I was a high school hitter compared to him hitting them that far. I said it was going to be one of the most epic home run battles, and I think it really stepped up to the name." The only thing that makes me confident that it might happen is that the rules allow the players with the most home runs to keep going. With any luck, we’ll get what we’re asking for. Because those guys are pretty good at doing exactly that. It probably won’t happen because baseball doesn’t quite work like that.

One can only hope that the massive home run structure in center field at Marlins Park will get a nice workout during the event. If ever there has been a player you don't want to bet against, it's the hulking 6-7 brute from the Bronx. Yes, as I have outlined in a previous Forbes piece, betting experts like SportsBookReview.com and Vegas oddsmakers in general are favoring the pair to take home the Derby hardware in Miami.

For his rookie season, Stanton's home runs averaged a distance of 399.6 feet with average speed of 104.3 MPH. Stanton's favorite MLB at-bat came on September 6, 2010, against Roy Oswalt in Philadelphia. Stanton thought he had struck out on a foul tip, but the catcher dropped the ball. On the next pitch, he hit a 435-foot home run.

He is unmarried and has no children. Stanton has represented the United States internationally, including the World Baseball Classic in 2013 and 2017. Team Puerto Rico had previously investigated whether Stanton could play for them or not. However, it was discovered that his connection with Puerto Rico was too far back on his mother's family tree for him to be eligible to represent the island.

Home Run Derby 2017: Predicting the winners, round by round

We'll go out on a limb and say he's not going to beat Stanton. Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton clubbed a record 61 home runs Monday to unseat defending champion Todd Frazier in the 2016 MLB Home Run Derby in San Diego. The odds from odds-maker Bovada has Stanton with the best odds at 7/5. Currently Stanton has 26 home runs and is tied with the Cincinnati Reds’ Joey Votto for third across the league. Entering Sunday, Stanton was tied for fifth in MLB with 20 home runs and 21st in slugging percentage (.551).

On April 18, Stanton hit a walk-off grand slam home run against the Seattle Mariners. Against the San Diego Padres, Stanton hit what was estimated to be the longest home run in Marlins Park history. Stanton hit his 154th career home run with the Marlins, tying the franchise career record with Dan Uggla.

But the history of the Derby tells us that the flashiest names often fizzle in the spotlight.

On August 27, Stanton became the first player since Chris Davis in 2013 to hit 50 home runs in one season. Stanton also became the sixth player in MLB history to reach 50 home runs before the end of August. During the August 29 game versus the Washington Nationals, he hit his 18th home run of the month, tying Rudy York for the most home runs in August, set in 1937.

He finished second in MVP voting to winner Clayton Kershaw. After playing nine games for the Jammers, where he batted .067 on 2-for-30 hitting, he was promoted to the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the Class A South Atlantic League. With Greensboro, Stanton hit 39 home runs, on a .293 batting average with 97 RBI and a .993 OPS. Stanton received an invitation to the 2009 Marlins' spring training. He won numerous post-season awards for his performance in the 2008 minor league season, and was placed at number 16 on Baseball America's top 100 prospects list.

On December 11, 2017, the New York Yankees acquired Stanton and cash considerations from the Marlins for Starlin Castro and minor leaguers Jorge Guzmán and José Devers.
