Switch-Hitting Phenom Adley Rutschman Dazzles in Surprise Home Run Derby Appearance

Adley Rutschman, a top prospect for the Baltimore Orioles, participated in the Home Run Derby and put on an impressive display of power from both sides of the plate.
The hometown hero launched 21 homers left-handed, including a 445-foot blast, and added six more right-handed in the bonus round.
Though Rutschman's father served as his pitcher, he ultimately fell to Chicago's Luis Robert Jr., who hit 28 homers overall.
Rutschman's performance signifies his potential to become a star for the Orioles and revitalize a franchise that has struggled in recent years.
The 2019 first overall draft pick is on the verge of reaching the majors and bringing his prodigious power with him.
