Like father, like son.

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. won Major League Baseball's 2023 All-Star Home Run Derby Monday at Seattle's T-Mobile Park, accomplishing the feat his Hall of Fame father achieved 16 years earlier.

Guerrero Jr. defeated Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena, 25-23, in the final round to become the first Blue Jays player to be crowned Home Run Derby champion. He lost to New York Mets star Pete Alonso in the 2019 final in Cleveland despite finishing the event with a record 91 homers.

Vladimir Guerrero Sr. won the 2007 title in San Francisco as a member of the Los Angeles Angels. The Guerreros are the only father-son duo to win the event.

The younger Guerrero's 25 homers in the final round were a Derby record, eclipsing the 23 Alonso hit when winning the first of two straight titles in 2019.

Just like his pops.

Alonso's bid to join Seattle Mariners legend Ken Griffey Jr. as the only three-time champion ended early. The first baseman was ousted in the opening round by crowd favourite Julio Rodriguez, who blasted 41 homers at his home park to set a Home Run Derby record for the most in a single round. Alonso finished with 21.

Guerrero Jr. had held the previous single-round record of 40 during his 2019 appearance. 

Rodriguez, who lost to current San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto in last year's final at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium, managed under half that total in the second round as Guerrero defeated the Mariners standout, 21-20, to advance.

Guerrero reached the second round by easily outdistancing Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts by a 26-11 count.

Arozarena began the festivities with a 24-17 victory over fellow Cuban and Texas Rangers star Adolis Garcia, then hit 35 homers in the second round to eliminate top-seeded Luis Robert of the Chicago White Sox. Robert edged Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman, 28-27, in the first round but slipped to 22 in the second.

Arozarena's 82 homers for the night were the second most in Home Run Derby history, behind only Guerrero's 2019 performance. Rodriguez totalled 81 in last year's edition.
