Yahoo Sports Royals’ Bobby Witt Jr. shares three-word reaction to his Home Run Derby performance
If Tuesday’s Major League Baseball All-Star Game is anywhere near as exciting as the Home Run Derby, fans will be in for a treat.
The annual Home Run Derby on Monday came down to the very last swing. Alas, Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. came up just a few feet short. Witt lost 14-13 to the Dodgers’ Teoscar Hernandez, but fans were blown away by just how much they had enjoyed watching the competition.
Witt, too, enjoyed the Derby. Afterward, he shared a three-word summation of the night on X.
That was fun!

I’m so proud of Bobby! He made us royals fans proud. Wish he could have won it but man he looked tired. I can’t imagine having to swing a bat that many times and still have the energy to hit bombs
