"Vlad-dy! Vlad-dy!" The chants echoed around Progressive Field as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. ties his own record -- set in the first round! -- with 29 home runs in the semis. He raises his arms in triumph after his final swing. He's already just the third player to hit 50 home runs in a Home Run Derby (Giancarlo Stanton hit 61 in 2016 and Kyle Schwarber hit 55 last year). And he may have one more round to go.
