Bobby Witt Jr. got agonizingly close to tying up the 2024 Home Run Derby final round

Kansas City Chiefs slugger Bobby Witt Jr. got incredibly close to forcing another round in the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby final.

Trying to match Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández’s 14 homers in the final round, Witt hit 13 home runs and nearly matched Hernández with his last swing.

However, the ball got agonizingly close to leaving the stadium before coming up just short, giving Hernández this year’s Home Run Derby crown.

We’re sure Witt will win a derby one of these days, as he got very, very close to matching Hernández before gravity had other plans.

You know, there’s always next year.
