Witt hit 13 home runs, nearly forcing a swing-off with his last attempt, but Hernández clinched the win with 14 homers. Witt, making his Derby debut, showed impressive performance with a total of 37 home runs in earlier rounds but fell just short in the final. Teoscar Hernández also recorded the longest home run of the night at 492 feet.
