Dodgers rookie Joc Pederson shattered the Dodger record for home runs in a Home Run Derby -- the record for home runs hit by all Dodgers in the Derby combined. He hit 39, while all previous Dodger participants had combined for 10.

In case you were wondering (like me), Joc Pederson would have done well under the old format, too. #HomeRunDerby https://t.co/mKqwyoe9yQ

In the end, the hometown Cincinnati hero Todd Frazier edged Pederson in the final, but Pederson sure put on a show.

Joc Pederson, 8 years old when Albert Pujols made his MLB debut, will now face Pujols in the #HomeRunDerby semifinals.
