JULIO! Wow! Way to start it off!

 

[sutz]

Julio out the gate with 25 in the first round. Hit a couple of them long enough to earn the bonus round.

32 after the 1 minute bonus round. The other guys watching seem impressed. Longest 463 feet.

Cory Seager up next in the head to head.

 

[Echawks]

Rep the mariners!!!

 

[sutz]

Seager struggling a bit. 20 out the gate. Needs 13 in 1 min bonus round.

 

[sutz]

Julio advances to Round 2.

 

[DJrmb]

Smart approach by Julio. He went with a lighter bat and isn't worrying about crazy distance in order to keep his stamina up for the later rounds. Seager went for a bigger heavier bat and ran out of gas in his bonus round only getting a couple more HRs in his extra 1 minute.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Julio gonna dethrone Alonso.

 

[sutz]

I'm a little worried, though. Julio was looking a bit gassed himself at the end of the round. Hope he has something left in the tank. He's kind of new to this stuff.

 

[DJrmb]

I thought it kind of sucked having to go 1st for Julio, but now he's going to get a longer rest than anyone else...

 

[sutz]

Well, there is that, and he definitely set a high bar. Seager never had a chance.

 

[SmokinHawk]

Reminds me of another Mariner center fielder.

It's early, but yeah, definite Junior vibe with this kid.

 

[DJrmb]

30 more in round two. JULIO!

 

[DJrmb]

If Alonso beats that he definitely deserves to move on.

 

[Echawks]

That Alonso is a weird dude lol

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Alonso sucking hard.

 

[sutz]

Julio in the final!

 

[DJrmb]

JROD going to the finals!

 

[Echawks]

There are going to be a lot of new mariner fans
