Mookie Betts HR Derby Results: Reactions from Dodgers Fans

Dodgers superstar right fielder Mookie Betts participated in his first ever Home Run Derby on Monday night in Seattle and did his best. Betts had a tough opponent in round one facing Blue Jays All-Star Vlad Guerrero who absolutely put on a show for the fans.

Before we get into it, it’s important to note that Mookie was swinging with a bowling themed bat.

Sadly, just as he predicted, Mookie didn’t have the best of displays in his round hitting just 11 home runs and getting bounced early. One thing that was wild was the fact that he never took a timeout during his first round.

J.D. Martinez told Mookie Betts to try to pull the ball to left field.

Betts replied, "I don't know how!"

Mookie may not have won but it's clear he had a lot of fun in the Home Run Derby.
