Batters faced off in a single-elimination, bracket-style competition, and each round was timed, rather than limited by number of outs. Todd Frazier was the winner, defeating Joc Pederson in the final round, 15–14, winning the derby in front of his hometown crowd. As a taller shortstop at 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and 220 pounds , he relies on footwork and a more upright ready position to hop to the ball. He also utilizes a one-handed pickup to leverage his long arms and range. He also uses a jump hop when throwing to first base while fading towards third base.

As for deGrom, he held Kansas City to one hit through four innings but got in trouble in the fifth, when he walked Alex Gordon on a full-count slider leading off. Gordon advanced to second on a single by Alex Ríos and scored the tying run on an Alcides Escobar single. Ben Zobrist then advanced the runners to second and third with a groundout, before deGrom retired Lorenzo Cain for the second out, but Eric Hosmer responded with a tie-breaking, two-run single. Kendrys Morales then added another single, while Hosmer scored the fourth run of the inning on an RBI-single by Mike Moustakas.

The rookie ended regulation with just nine home runs, seemingly not enough to defeat a slugger of Pujols' caliber. Machado made the most of his bonus time, smacking two dingers on his first two swings to finish with 12. When top prospects are called up, fans are supposed to hope for the best, but prepare for disappointment. After all, playing Major League Baseball is really hard -- even if you're a 20-something wunderkind with the most brilliantly blue eyes. Some films that never go to theaters have a real low-budget feel.
The previous record was held by Kenny Rogers, who retired 28 in a row in 1994, including his perfect game against the California Angels. New York Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda has the most notable achievement of his career, dominating the visiting Baltimore Orioles over seven innings with a career-high 16 strikeouts. Pineda strikes out the side in the second and fifth innings, and records at least two strikeouts in every inning he pitches. He is removed from the game after throwing 81 of his 111 pitches for strikes, and the Yankees beat the Orioles 6-2. Pineda's strikeouts tie the most by a Yankees right-hander, and leaves him two shy of tying the club record set in 1978 by the lefty Ron Guidry. The 16 strikeouts also matches the most any major league pitcher has had in a seven-inning outing.
