It should come at no surprise that Prince Fielder can hit home runs, in fact he hits them with authority and confidence unlike any other player. Which is why Fielder won the 2009 Home Run Derby.
First off a little history lesson, Prince has been hitting home runs his entire life, when he was living in Detroit and his father, Cecil, was playing for the Detroit Tigers, Prince would hit home runs in Tiger Stadium to the amazement of all the players.
He is the spitting image of his father, he a a very large player who can put one in the seats very quickly. Ever since he was a child running around the Tigers locker room eating hot dogs and hitting home runs, people knew he would be a great player.
But tonight Prince did something his father never did, win a home run derby.
Tonight only confirms what we already knew, this boy can hit. Fielder won the Home Run Derby with 23 total home runs, six coming in the final round to beat the Texas Rangers Nelson Cruz.
So now, at the age of 25, Fielder's accomplishments include a 50 home run season and now the title of Home Run Derby Champion.
