With the announcement of Trevor Story in the Home Run Derby, a stamp of Colorado approval has sealed the yearly event. The Rockies have their guy in the contest.
Now it’s time to exceed that Colorado approval—by making the ballpark as Coors Field as ever.
It may serve as Coors Field’s civic duty to act as the most electrifying venue in Derby history. During this contest, we could very well see the farthest hit baseball of the Statcast era. Nowhere else can reasonably match the elevation and subsequent boost to batted ball distance. Nowhere else seems to win the vote on MLB The Show when online video gamers get together on Derby mode.
