Aaron Judge vs. Cody Bellinger. The match-up that everyone wanted to see. I wanted to see it so badly, I even wrote about it. Well, we got what we all wanted. Bellinger led off the round with 12 home runs, which was good enough to win the other semi-final matchup, but unfortunately for him, not enough to beat Judge. When asked about his chances to beat Judge, Bellinger said, “I have about a -12% chance.” At least he gave credit where credit is due. The talent is there for Bellinger without a doubt. We have seen what he can do both in games and in the home run derby, but Judge seemed to never get tired.
“He missed that ball and it still went out,” said Bellinger.
We know how you feel, Cody.
The second semi-final match-up was a little less eventful, when Gary Sanchez got defeated by Miguel Sano by just one home run. Sano, who was very few people’s picks to advance this far, has done the impossible, and won a match-up with Aaron Judge for the crown.
