The most unbreakable records in MLB history: 91 Home Run Derby Homers

It may have been viewed as just a fun way to entertain the fans, but that doesn’t mean a record wasn’t set on the night.

In 2019, Vlad Guerrero Jr. showed up and showed out. Winning the Home Run derby usually indicates that a possible star could be on the horizon. Guerrero Jr. may have ultimately lost, but he still made sure his name is known in MLB circles.

On the night, Guerrero Jr. blasted an MLB record 91 home runs. It was by far the most homers in the event’s history. The second closest at the time was Giancarlo Stanton who sent 61 homers into the bleachers in 2016. Since then, Pete Alonso has inched closer, registering 74 home runs in 2021.

No matter how impressive Guerrero Jr.’s performance actually was, he’s still kicking himself for allowing the moment to slip through his fingers. After both players made it through the first few rounds, everything was on the line in the finals. In true movie-like fashion, Alonso managed to creep ahead and take down his man by a score of 23-22.

It was a heartbreaking way to go out. And while we’re sure Guerrero Jr. wishes he took home the win, his record-setting 91 homers should placate his shortcomings.
