INSANE ACTION at the 2021 Home Run Derby at Coors Field
Спорт
Stampedes in the concourse, tearing apart concession stands, digging through trash -- the baseballs were PRE-autographed, and people went NUTS to catch them (and I got some wild POV footage with my GoPro). The whole day was crazy and fun and I'm excited to share this video.
What was my view like for Shohei Ohtani? How close did I come to Juan Soto's 520-foot rocket (the longest in Home Run Derby history)? How many baseballs did I catch (or almost catch) and who hit them?
In addition to Ohtani and Soto, six other sluggers put on quite a show: Matt Olson, Trey Mancini, Trevor Story, Joey Gallo, Salvador Perez, and Pete Alonso who won the whole thing . . . AGAIN!
FYI, it wasn't just the Derby itself that produced a ton of action. Both leagues took batting practice, and the players were being extra generous with toss-ups, so there was all kinds of stuff happening early in the day. I ran all over the place to find the best spots (concourse, bleachers, left field, right field, 2nd deck, Rooftop standing room, etc.) and while that didn't quite pay off with the results I had hoped for, it still provides an amazing tour of Coors Field.
In case you missed them (or want to re-watch them 20 more times), here are my previous Home Run Derby videos:
2016 -- • Catching baseballs at ...
2017 -- • INSANE ACTION at the 2...
2018 -- • Catching baseballs at ...
2019 -- • Catching TWO HOME RUNS...
The Derby at Coors Field took place on July 12, 2021. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for my All-Star Game video coming next!

Curtis Pride is the man! When I was a kid I was at an Expos game during his second stint. Before the games the Expos would have a few players sign stuff, that day everyone wanted Ugeth Urbinas autograph. When I realized that wouldn't happen I was about to walk away but saw him and he smiled and signed my ball for me, super nice guy.

No worries man, loved the video. It was cool getting to see what it was like trying to shag home runs at the AS Derby. Congrats on the Story ball.
That is a really beautiful stadium! Also that was super hilarious when that ball landed in the beer stand and everyone went savage and rioted their way into it then the fireworks going off after.
I love the way you did it wouldnt want anything other than classic zack focused on the goal at hand.. ball ball ball we know what the batters are doing during this we like to see that chaos in the stands keep doing you love it!!
