He becomes the first player who left out of the All-Star games to take home the crown. The Oakland Athletics slugger beat Bryce Harper by 9-8 in the final round at Citi Field, by hitting the decisive drives with five swings to spare.

In his second major league season, The Cuba outfielder flipped his bat aside and raised his left arm in the happiness of victory when he hit his 32nd homer of the night some 455 feet to center field, where it bounced the back wall of the black batter’s eye. He was poured by the American League All-Stars near the third base line.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer said, “You come for a show in New York. He put on a show,” on Tuesday at night

In his final additions Cespedes was the fourth player who is not selected for All-Star game to compete in event.

He proved himself he belonged from a family with stands, by right off his bat Cespedes hit a big splendid17 home runs in the first round — more than any other player in the field managed in their first two trips to the plate.

Cespedes address to translator and tell him about the success key, “I felt that I was getting into a very good rhythm, and that as long as the ball was right over the plate, I felt like I was in a good groove,”

His first-round outburst performance in the field was enough for him to send him straight into the finals, though he also added six long balls in round two. Some of his drives were adorable and impressive, too.

Half-dozen balls hit into the upper deck in left by Cespedes as no one in the game never reached here, and he hit the ball so hard couple of times that it banged on restaurant windows in the corner just below.

Cespedes the 27-year-old man has struggled hard as a sophomore, batting only .225 with 15 homers, as there was no in the viewers who doubts on his ability.

He said:

“This trophy will motivate me so that things continue to go well for me, and I just want to thank the people that believed in me, that thought I could play at this level,”

There was another player 20-year-old Harper, wearing shiny gold spikes as his father gave to him, hammered hit eight home runs in all three rounds.

Lines said by Harper

“He’s incredible He’s an absolute machine.”

The players eliminated in the second rounds as Colorado outfielder Michael Cuddyer and Baltimore first baseman Chris Davis, who leads the majors with 37 home runs, in round. Davis tied Reggie Jackson (1969) for the AL record before the All-Star break the record by dazzling homers.

According to STATS in 2009 Citi Field opened or started with cavernous dimensions and yielded the fewest homers in the majors over its first three seasons. But the Mets set up a new fence in front of the old one, changed the Great Wall of Flushing, before last season, shaving dimensions by up to 12 feet and decreasing the height of wall from as high as 16 feet to 8 all around so easily.

Ballpark has ranked closer to the middle of the pack in homers since then, 18th out of 30, but it’s still no hitter’s haven or paradise.

While hometown favorite David Wright had joked that if he would take his Derby swings from second base.

As said by Cespedes:

“This stadium may be very difficult, but it’s not as difficult as Oakland. And if I can do it in Oakland, I thought, why can’t I do it here?”

Huge hitters or Baseball’s big boppers took aim and take the ball at two trucks parked beside the home run, where an apple behind the center-field fence, a popular staple at Mets when games dating to their days in Shea Stadium. Cespedes dinged his hood on one, bringing a rousing cheer and loud noises from audience.

Cuban reliever Aroldis Chapman of the Cincinnati Reds brought water and towel for Cespedes during the first round, while in 2010 champion David Ortiz strolled over and offer encouragement and advice.

The stunning dance of  Rockettes atop on the dugouts and did their famous kickline between first-round batters.

Few lines said by Cespedes:

“It’s far different from in Cuba there might be two people at our games. There’s only one photographer, and this is completely different and foreign to me. But I’m very happy to be here.”

Robinson Cano is one of the good feared hitters in baseball and he often seen torches opposing pitchers. But it was also a reality that his father is one of the pitchers that he was struggled to hit off of lately.

While it wasn’t in the case in 2011 when Cano won the Home Run Derby with 32 home runs—while 12 of those homers coming in the finals against Adrian Gonzalez.

In the past year Cano was the captain for the AL squad, but he didn’t do any special thing at the plate—literally. The Yankees who was the second baseman entered the competition with 20 homers and was certainly in one of the most favorites, but he failed to hit even hit one ball out of the park as he finished his first round with a goose egg.

Cano was a better hitter at Citi Field,.

While he just only hit four home runs in the first round, and falling three homers shy of forcing a swing-off in first round. In the second straight year, Cano finished the Home Run Derby with fewest splendid home runs in the field. Now he has four Derby homers in next two years after hitting 32homers in 2011.
