The 2021 Home Run Derby was a fun show, but it also could end up foreshadowing Trevor Story’s future.
Last week, Story broke the Rockies single-round record for most homers in the Home Run Derby. His 20 blasts in round one were not only enough to edge Joey Gallo, but they also bested Larry Walker’s 1997 mark of 19.
Considering the impressive Rockies to be in the Derby — from Walker to original Blake Street Bombers Dante Bichette, Ellis Burks, and Vinny Castilla, to other team legends like Todd Helton, Matt Holliday, Carlos González, Troy Tulowitzki, and current teammate Charlie Blackmon — Story is now the tops.
