Is it too much in the All-Star Home Run Derby? As the injury came after the Home Run Derby, a sad scene was created where he could not participate in the All-Star game.

Lewis Robert Jr. (26), a right-handed hitter of the Chicago White Sox, participated in the 2023 Major League All-Star Game Home Run Derby held at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, USA on the 11th (hereinafter Korean time).

Robert Jr. faced Adley Luchman of the Baltimore Orioles in the first round and hit 28 home runs, defeating Luchman with 27 by one difference and advancing to the second round. Robert Jr.’s second round opponent is Randy Arozarena of the Tampa Bay Rays. Robert Jr. showed his strength by hitting 22 home runs in the second round, but failed to advance to the finals due to Arozarena’s 35 home runs.

Arozarena, who advanced to the final by beating Robert Jr., hit 23 homers in the final, but had to be satisfied with the runner-up finish, being beaten by Toronto Blue Jays’ Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who exploded 25 home runs. Following his father, Vladimir Guerrero’s victory in 2007, Guerrero Jr. wrote a new history as the first ever ‘father-son win’ in the Major League All-Star Game Home Run Derby.
