Teoscar Hernandez moved onto the finals of the 2024 Home Run Derby by beating Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm in a swing-off after both players smacked 14 home runs in the knockout round. 

Hernandez hit two home runs on his three swings in the swing-off. Bohm didn't get one on his first swing, got one on his second swing, and then popped out to shallow left center on his final swing that would've tied it and sent them to another swing-off.

The Dodgers' slugger will face American League MVP candidate Bobby Witt Jr. in the final.
