Now Curtis Granderson calls time out -- evidently they have those in a Home Run Derby? -- for a conference on the mound with CC Sabathia and Jose Cano. And a ninth out, with the Kansas City crowd in all its glory. It's mostly cheers, but some are booing. Canó homered versus Lance McCullers Jr. in a 4–1 loss to the Houston Astros on April 18, 2018, to give him 302 for his career, and pass Hornsby for second place all-time among second basemen. On April 29, Canó hit his 100th home run as a member of the Mariners, versus Josh Tomlin in a 10–4 victory over the Cleveland Indians.
Royals' DH Billy Butler was chosen, and Kansas City fans wanted him to participate at this year’s Home Run Derby. Sky shots splash into the fountain close-up was a unique way to watch this mostly-meaningless, just-for-fun event. He is hitting .290 and has 16 home runs. That ties him for 16th in the AL home run category, which leaves him behind all but one of the four AL contestants—Prince Fielder, with 15 home runs. "That was the most interesting reaction to a home derby i've ever seen, but the fans were excited which is all that counts," Granderson tweeted.

Canó was one of the five prospects offered to the Texas Rangers to complete the Yankees' acquisition of Alex Rodriguez before the 2004 season. The Rangers selected Joaquín Árias instead. Sometimes the most exciting moments of the MLB All-Star break don't happen during the actual All-Star Game.

He's the defending champion after putting on a show in Arizona last year with his Father pitching to him. The crowd first greets Cano with chants of "Billy Butler." He makes an out and the crowd goes wild. On his third swing, Cano barely misses a bomb and the crowd goes crazy again, with Cano himself laughing. A fourth out, a fifth out, a sixth out, a seventh out, an eighth out ...

2012 Home-Run Derby: Robinson Cano Gets Bronx Cheer In Kansas City
With seven outs, Beltran then hit two straight, including a 459-footer into the fountain pool. He then made his eighth out, with five homers . He'll need to get hot to be in position to make the finals. Beltran will need Bautista to lay an egg for a chance the finals. • Andrew McCutchen now steps to the plate. After making two quiet outs, Cutch goes 435 feet to get on the board .
He is an eight-time MLB All-Star, a five-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and a two-time Gold Glove Award winner. Cano is also the 2017 All-Star Game MVP and the 2011 Home Run Derby winner. He needs a huge effort here to win it. Two outs are then followed by Bautista's second homer. Outs number three and four, and Prince can start walking toward that trophy.
Canó played for the Tampa Yankees of the Class-A Advanced Florida State League and Trenton Thunder of the Class-AA Eastern League in 2003, by which point he was viewed as a top prospect. Canó appeared in the 2003 All-Star Futures Game. Isn't chosen to participate at the Home Run Derby at Citi Field? Every team has at least one batting-practice bomber.
Later, Canó claimed that Kansas City fans targeted his family during their jeers at the All-Star festivities. Hamilton said on Tuesday that he has was offered the opportunity to be the captain for the American League team, but he declined and won't participate at all. Hamilton has not been a part of the event since 2008, when he hit a record 28 homers in the first round. He starts with two outs before going yard, 421 feet. Through five outs, Beltran had two homers -- then he unleashed 454 feet into the fountain (furthest non-Prince Fielder bomb).
He makes three outs before hitting a 406-foot shot to get on the board. That shot was the first of three straight homers for Beltran. He would finish with seven homers, the longest of which being 436 feet. In 2017, Canó was named the captain of the Dominican Republic team. After going 3–0 in the first round, the Dominican Republic lost its first game to Puerto Rico which ended their streak of 11 straight wins dating back to the 2013 World Baseball Classic.
