Adolis García’s awful Home Run Derby pitcher had MLB fans making tons of jokes

Adolis García Adolis Garcia MLB Home Run Derby Tony Beasley Derby (Event) Randy Arozarena Dodgers Rangers

The MLB Home Run Derby didn’t exactly go Adolis García’s way on Monday night.

The two-time All-Star Texas Rangers outfielder didn’t have his best performance, but a lot of the blame can be placed on batting practice pitching that was, shall we say, sub-par.

The culprit was Rangers third-base coach Tony Beasley, whose pitching would have been great if he were a middle reliever but was less ideal when the goal of the competition is to hit home runs.

As the No. 4 seed, García was eliminated in the first round after hitting just 17 bombs compared to Randy Arozarena’s 24. And as you can see, the pitching wasn’t doing him any favors.

It’s not the first time we’ve seen a player’s derby hopes derailed by their own batting practice pitcher, but MLB fans certainly had lots of jokes at Beasley’s expense.
