McCutchen Contest: HR Derby Draft

I’ve decided to do a home run derby competition to determine who wins the Andrew McCutchen shirt.

I’m going to use the video game MLB The Show 2012 to simulate 32 different home run derbys.

The winner of each of those 32 home run derbys will move on to the next round, and so on and so on until we have a champion.

Here’s is how the draft ended up in order of 2011 Home Runs:
