Yeah, that was pretty awesome. He was putting ‘em out rapid fire from the right side. 

[Revad]

Absolutely.  That was great, he switched  from batting left handed and hit a bunch right handed.

Then Robert just makes it look like child's play wow

[Revad]

It would be a shame if doing this messed up Mookie’s swing.

his first round made him look like he was hardly swinging. that was pretty darn impressive.

i don't know if he was the first switch hitter to be in the derby, but switching from left to right is definitely a first. that was pretty darn fun to watch.

And now he's injured and not playing in the ASG

That will be interesting if it deters players from participating in future derbies.
