Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. emerged victorious in the 2023 Home Run Derby, defeating Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena in a thrilling final. The score ended at 25-23 in favor of Guerrero.
Guerrero Jr. joins his father, Vladimir Guerrero, as the only father-son duo in Major League Baseball history to win a Home Run Derby.
Guerrero Jr. is also the first player in Blue Jays history to win the competition. He was the runner-up in 2019 when he set a record for the most total home runs in the derby with 91.
His 25 home runs in the finals set a new record against Arozarena, surpassing the previous total of 23 home runs by New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso last year.
