Colorado Rockies bullpen catcher Aaron Munoz got a close-up view of the 2021 Home Run Derby at Coors Field. Taking his position behind the plate, it made for a unique sight and some moments he will never forget.

Completing the trifecta of Rockies with catcher (Munoz), pitcher (bench coach Mike Redmond), and hitter (Trevor Story), Munoz watched as Story advanced to the second round with a 20-19 decision over Joey Gallo of the Texas Rangers before falling to Baltimore’s Trey Mancini, 13-12.
