Watch: Rhys Hoskins surprises in first Home Run Derby

When it came to his first-ever Home Run Derby, Rhys Hoskins’ approach was pretty simple.

“Hit more home runs than the other guys.”

Rhys Hoskins will be the 1st Phillies player to be in the Home Run Derby in 10 years. His strategy? “Hit more home runs than the other guys.”

That’s working out for him so far.

Hoskins led off the event and hit 17 dingers — a number No. 1 seed Jesus Aguilar didn’t come close to touching. He managed just 11.
