Which one of these is your favorite? For me, it’s either the one off Jacob deGrom or the walk-off moonshot off Arizona’s Yoan Lopez. My reasoning is simple – it was his longest home run of the season – and he got revenge for the Joc Pederson situation on Lopez.
If still permitted to score Bellinger home runs, that would be my first ’10-plus’ ever.
