Francisco Lindor, Brandon Nimmo All-Star snubs look even worse after Pete Alonso's dud HR Derby showing
Well, that couldn't have gone much worse. Pete Alonso, the betting favorite to win his third Home Run Derby, hit just 12 home runs and was the first player eliminated.

Alonso had said he would only participate in the Home Run Derby if he was an All-Star. This certainly is not what MLB had envisioned. In fact, if MLB knew Alonso would put up this kind of performance, there's a good chance they would've just chosen someone else to participate in the derby and give his All-Star spot to another New York Mets player.
