New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso rallied in the final round to successfully defend his Home Run Derby crown with a 23-22 win over Baltimore's Trey Mancini.
Mancini, the feel-good story of the event, made a memorable run to the final but watched Alonso hit six straight homers in the bonus minute to win.
Alonso, the 2019 champion, hit one 509 feet during the final round to top Mancini.
"I've done this before, and I'm confident in my ability to hit it out of the ballpark," Alonso said on the field after his win.
