Just like that, we’re down to the final six. One semifinal today, one semifinal tomorrow—and then the two plays that emerge will go head-to-head for 48 hours to start next week, with a victor revealed on Wednesday.

In the first semifinal, we’ve got a two-on-one fast break, with two huge homers from Mike Zunino going against a robbery from Mitch Haniger.

Haniger’s Home Run Robbery

In a game in which he notched four RBI at the dish, it may as well have been seven total as this robbery brought back a three-run bomb—that, of course, to go with the three-run drive of his own off Cole Hamels.

Zunino Walks It Off

A key part of Mike Zunino’s monster 2017 at the dish was his ability to connect with pitches on the outer half and drive them to right and right-center. That was never more on display than with this game-winning two-run shot.

Z Almost Leaves the Park

Aaron Judge’s drive to almost the exact same spot received a whole lot more attention—but it wasn’t quite as grand. With the sacks full, Mike Z drove this one a projected 441 feet into the upper tank.

Here’s a look at the bracket heading into the semifinals.
