'Minions' is merely middling

Romantic relationships between faculty and students are unprofessional and unfair because the power difference opens the door to abuse.

The movie following the solo outing of the mischievous yellow henchmen is neither despicable nor delightful.

Lecture series tells Senator Daniel K. Inouye’s legacy Senator’s link to Hawai‘i hopes to boost civil engagement HENDRICKS HICKS STAFF WRITER

A new ﬁve-year lecture series sponsored by the Library of Congress and organized by the Daniel K. Inouye Institute and College of Social Sciences on campus aims to show the inﬂuence of Daniel K. Inouye’s legacy in Hawai‘i. “We want the lectures to look at Daniel Inouye’s legacy throughout the entirety of Hawai‘ i’s political history, from territory to statehood and beyond,” Dean of the College of Social Sciences Denise Konan said. ”We also want to look at his leadership style based on his principles of honor for country, civic engagement, and crossing of political lines.” The lecture series discusses leadership, civil engagement and bipartisanship. ABC White House correspondent Ann Compton moderated the two speakers, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (D) and former Secretary of State Colin Powell (R). The event took place at the John W. Kluge Center in Washington, D.C. It will be archived and edited for educators’ use. “Hawai‘ i has the lowest young voter turnout below 30 in the nation,” Konan said. “We want to engage youth not only in college, but high school as well. We want

them to understand democracy, and that with freedom comes a lot of responsibility.” STREAMING ACROSS THE NATION

The Library of Congress streamed the event on its YouTube channel. The broadcast was shown at UH Mānoa’s Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE) where more than 50 VIPs were present. Among those in attendance were Superintendent of Education Kathryn Matayoshi, UH Mānoa Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman, Hawai‘i Community Foundation President and CEO Kelvin Taketa and Governor Ige’s wife, First Lady of Hawai‘i Dawn Amano-Ige. The Daniel K. Inouye Leaders in Action club at UH Mānoa sponsored another event at Campus Center. “DKI Leaders in Action aims to provide a forum for awareness, student engagement, discussions, and leadership events encompassing issues of democracy, public service, civic engagement, government affairs and U.S. and Hawai‘ i’s political issues,” board member Kelly Sun Young Park said. Established in the Spring 2015 semester, DKI Leaders in Action hopes to separate itself from other clubs on campus. “I think our club is unique because we’re able to build from scratch and addresses relevant issues. We’re not

tied to any speciﬁc mission when compared to other organizations, like ASUH or GSO, and are able to bring relevant issue into the spotlight,” she said. ORGANIZING THE EVENT

Konan originally wanted former Secretary of the State Con-

ter, but wasn’t an option due to schedule conﬂicts. “We originally wanted to schedule the event in May, but our speakers, Powell and Albright, weren’t available on the same day,” Konan said. “They were doing their commencement circuit speeches around the nation. Finding a day for either one of [them]

doleezza Rice to speak, but she wasn’t available. “We originally started with Condoleezza Rice as a speaker and always intended the [Washington] D.C. stream to show national ties with Hawai‘ i at highest level of the decision making process at the [nation’s] capital,” Konan said. The lecture was originally planned for the Spring 2015 semes-

individually wouldn’t have been hard, but ﬁnding a day that worked for both of them was a challenge.” SENATOR DANIEL INOUYE’S IMPACT

Along with the lecture series, the College of Social Science has secured papers the senator created and used throughout his career. “We’ll need to go through the documents and make sure that

they don’t contain any sensitive information, considering the events that the senator was involved with during his career: the Iran-Contra affair, Watergate scandal and being on the committee of Indian Affairs,” Konan said. Powell shared an anecdote about Inouye. “When he was chairman of the defense subcommittee and was my man for money,” Powell said. “I would pick up the phone, and I would say ‘Get the good senator for me’ and when Dan would get on the phone I would say ‘It’s Colin.’ He would say ‘What do you need?’” “I really got a problem, this is a — no kidding — problem, I really need this money’ “‘Done.’” “That was it. It was over, no further discussion. I didn’t do it too often, but I did it often enough to get what I needed. And that’s the kind of leader he was,” Powell said. The lecture is available on the Library of Congress’ and Daniel K. Inouye Institute’s websites.

Faculty-student relationship ban in the works Collaborative effort will attempt to make UH Mānoa safer MASON HIGA STAFF WRITER

A policy currently being drafted proposes to prohibit new faculty-student and employer-employee romantic or sexual relationships at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. A draft of this policy has not been submitted to UH President David Lassner’s ofﬁce for distribution yet, but the committee tasked with writing the draft is putting the ﬁnal touches on the policy, according to Meda Chesney-Lind, chair of the Department of Women’s Studies at UH Mānoa. The policy will include details on how people in preexisting relationships can manage the relationship through preventing academic contact.

CONFLICT WITH CONSENT

The policy discusses relationships involving scenarios where one person in the relationship has power over the other, such as those involving a faculty member and a student or an employer and an employee. “There is a lot of potential for abuse there,” said Nicholas Chagnon, chair of the Advocacy Committee for the Graduate Student Organization. For example, a student could receive a request for a sexual relationship from a professor or a teaching assistant, who is then able to grade them or choose whether to write a letter of recommendation. “Does a student who’s getting approached sexually by a professor really have the ability to freely consent to have that relationship, or, much more

importantly, to not have that relationship? That’s where the student begins to feel the pressure,” Chesney-Lind said. The extent of these relationships may extend beyond the two people in the relationship. Chagnon said there is an impact to the learning climate that can negatively affect other students in the same class. CORRECTING PAST WRONGS

There have been cases where students felt coerced by either faculty and graduate teaching assistants before, according to Chesney-Lind. She believes that the president put the committee drafting the policy together because he was not pleased with the existing policy, which only discourages faculty-student relationships from existing.

“You can drive a truck through the old policy,” Chesney-Lind said. “No one paid attention to it. All the admonishments and warnings … those kinds of things didn’t prevent people from having sexual relationships with people who were in their classes.” In an effort to strengthen safety across its campuses, UH created the Title IX Ofﬁce, guiding students seeking help with sexual harassment-related issues. COLLABORATIONS ACROSS CAMPUS

Following the completion of the policy’s draft, there will be “systemwide consultation with all stakeholders, including unions, student organizations, faculty, and administrators” to work towards a final policy, UH spokes-

person Dan Meisenzahl said in an email interview. “UHPA would like to see what the proposed policy entails and the consequences for violating it,” David Duffy, the president of the University of Hawai‘i’s Professional Assembly, said in an email interview. Chesney-Lind guessed that the consulting process would begin to ramp up at the beginning of the new semester when everyone returns to UH following the end of summer break. “What’s gonna happen is the GSO is gonna talk about it as a group and we’ll have to come to some collective decision,” Chagnon said. “I’m not sure if it’s possible to have the perfect policy, but I’m sure there’ll be debate in GSO about it.”

On the morning of May 21, 2015, students, faculty and community members packed the hearing room in the IT building at University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Although summer break had already begun, there were members of the Graduate Student Organization, undergrads and representatives of climate change advocacy group 350Hawaii.org. In this company, the UH Board of Regents voted unanimously to divest its $66 million endowment from fossil fuels by 2018, making the UH system the largest educational institution to divest from fossil fuels. Now the community is eager to see the privately run University of Hawai‘i Foundation, which manages a $261.5 million endowment for the university, to follow suit. The foundation’s mission includes managing its investments to beneﬁt UH, the people of Hawai‘i and future generations. TIME TO ACT IS NOW

If we make no effort to curb the current trajectory of climate change, Hawai‘i’s younger citizens will live in a world severely damaged by greenhouse gas emissions. Climate research is among the best research at UH. It makes no sense to warn ourselves of a degraded future yet not acknowledge it with appropriate action. In June, Norway committed to divesting its $890 billion pension fund, the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, from companies deriving 30 percent or more of their business from mining or burning coal. In March, the White House pledged that within 10 years the U.S. would reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 26 per-

cent from 2005 levels. This followed China’s pledge that its emissions would peak by 2030. No longer is tackling climate change an issue for the future. The world’s most powerful and wealthy nations are making swift commitments to shun a future dependent on fossil fuels. These decisions do not come too soon. In perhaps the world’s least sexy top 10 list, the ten hottest days have all been since 1997, and the 10 hottest years have been since 1998. However, even climate scientists were surprised when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released the latest data: 2014

and inland until their habitat disappears. Not many things can live on the steep Pali cliffs. Hawai‘ i holds the dubious distinction of being the “Endangered Species Capital of the World.” With only 0.2 percent of the land area of the U.S., it is home to 434 of its 1209 endangered species listed under the Endangered Species Act. All eyes will be on our commitment to address climate change next year during the IUCN World Conservation Congress. Held every four years, this conference brings world leaders from over 1,300 government and non-governmental

UH Foundation supports innovation and gives us conﬁdence in future generations. It has the power to brighten Hawai‘ i. was the hottest year on record. This new record is astounding because 2014 was an El Niño neutral year. El Niño weather patterns can push conditions to extremes and have been used by climate deniers to account for ﬂuctuations and rises in ocean temperatures. That 2014 is the warmest year on record in an El Niño neutral year leaves no room for spurious rationalizations. HAWAI‘I’S VULNERABILITY

The Hawaiian Islands are especially susceptible to climate change. Our location in the middle of the Paciﬁc means sea level rise will impact the entire perimeter of the state and all its coastal developments and living areas. Globally, as temperatures rise, species migrate to higher latitudes or away from the equator to seek appropriate habitat. In Hawai‘i, they can at best move somewhat uphill

organizations. They will converge upon Honolulu with the goal of developing solutions to global environmental problems. Hawai‘ i has begun its journey to 100 percent renewable energy by 2045. UH is the intellectual nucleus of the state and a vital part of that solution. The state legislature will pursue the divestment of its Employees’ Retirement System in the upcoming session, as Rep. Chris Lee has announced he would introduce the relevant bill next year. UH Foundation supports innovation and gives us conﬁdence in future generations. It has the power to brighten Hawai‘i and enable progressive leadership. By divesting and moving the endowment to sustainable investments, the foundation would ensure a more secure future for students and generations to come. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Cashing in the wrong bill It is time for women to get recognized for their role in American history CARLY YASHIKI STAFF WRITER

With the growth of the women’s movement, it’s about time a female face is represented on America’s paper money. On July 8, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew conﬁrmed that by 2020 the $10 bill will feature a woman and president Andrew Jackson would remain on the $20 bill, despite the popular “Woman on 20s” campaign. This is a questionable choice, considering he was responsible for the infamous “Trail of Tears,” held slaves and opposed paper money. Although having a woman on the $10 banknote is a great leap in women’s history, a female portrait would be more logical on the $20. Jackson’s mistreatment of slaves and Native Americans has had enough glory on this country’s money and it is time for a change, or rather, a rewind of an injustice. “It’s wise to honor the value of women in our society,” said Barbara Joyce, an assistant specialist in the campus College of Social Sciences. “[I]f adding images of women on our currency adds to that, which I think it will, then it’s a good thing.” WE LOST THE BATTLE, BUT WE’LL WIN THE WAR

Why wasn’t the $20 bill chosen for the ﬁrst female portrait, considering the popularity of the “Woman on 20s” petition? It’s simple: the $10 bill is next in line for remolding. The Advanced Counterfeit Deterrence Steering Committee had already recommended upgrad-

ing the design of the $10 bill. Redesigning, however, is up to the U.S. Department of Treasury, which had also previously pledged to make alterations to the $10 bill. However, before 1929, it was Jackson on the $10 bill. As history repeats itself, we can take this opportunity to move Alexander Hamilton, United States’ ﬁrst secretary of treasury, onto the $20 bill. Jackson then would be set aside. Even if a woman would not get to be featured on the $20 bill, however, it would be a partial win-win. Eleanor Roosevelt would be a solid candidate for that honor because she fought for the rights of women

for people,” said Kathy Ferguson, director of the Women’s Studies Program and professor in the Department of Political Science at UH Mānoa. “Jackson was a terrible president who played a big role in the oppression of Indian tribes.” Ferguson is right. It makes more sense to put someone from whom the entire country beneﬁtted. That cannot be Jackson. Although known as the “people’s president,” he was controversial. On one hand, he wanted to get rid of the Electoral College and allow Americans to vote freely. On the other, in 1838 he forced over 15,000 Cherokee from their lands east of

and people of color and made the role of the ﬁrst lady what it is now. The message for women is to view this partial win not as a trophy, but a stepping-stone towards greater future opportunities. Hopefully soon we’ll see an even ratio of men to women in our currency, which would be in line with our country’s values of justice and equality. WHY JACKSON ANYWAY?

“I’d like to see the government replace Andrew Jackson with a woman who did something good

Mississippi to Oklahoma, an event during which 4,000 of them died. In front of congress, Jackson even said, “[T]he policy of the General Government toward the red man is not only liberal, but generous.” Jackson was also a slave owner. His home in Tennessee, the Hermitage, was a 1,000-acre plantation that depended on the labor of African American men, women and children. The Jackson family proﬁted from them and sought to acquire more and more until it owned 150 slaves at the time of the president’s

death in 1845. In a modern society where our country is no longer run by slave owners, it is fair to update the face that represents our $20 bill with someone whose intentions were motivated by equality and justice. Ironically, Jackson was also not in favor of paper money; he believed that “no state shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts.” The most confusing aspect of his portrait on the $20 bill in ﬁrst place would be that if he were alive now, Jackson him-

self would have shunned the idea. If he was so opposed to paper money, why was he a candidate for the bill to begin with? The proposal to add a woman’s portrait on the $20 bill was not to bash Jackson’s accomplishments, but rather to justify a suitable spot for equality in our currency. According to currency data from the Federal Reserve, the $20 note is the second highest in value in circulation. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Legalize prostitution in Hawai‘ i Human trafficking is not the same as prostitution JESSICA HENAO STAFF WRITER

On July 13, Gov. Ige vetoed antisex trafficking bill SB265. Prostitution remains illegal in Hawai‘i. Our state has not taken sex trafficking into a high priority. A Civil Beat investigation showed that only one pimp was arrested in 2011 and was never charged with a crime. According to SB265, fighting prostitution should be “victim-centered,” even though not all are forced into it. Instead, prostitution should be legalized and regulated to stop human trafficking. Prostitutes should have the legal rights to practice the profession and establishments that allow them to, as any other business. EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM

In 2011, the non-proﬁt Polaris Project rated Hawai‘i as one of the

unsatisfactory states on measures of sex-trafficking. In 2014, local advocacy group IMUAlliance conducted a “victim-centered” survey, according to which 91 percent of victims reported being physically assaulted while trafficked and 77 percent were raped. These numbers show that having prostitution illegal is counter-productive to Hawai‘i’s human trafficking problem. LEGALIZATION IN ARGENTINA

If Hawai‘i legalizes prostitution, there will be rules and regulations and fewer crimes. Argentina is one of the many countries where prostitution is legal and sex workers view it as a profession and demand the same rights as others. Article 19 of the Argentinean Constitution states, “The private actions of people do not offend in anyway the public order, morality, nor damage a third person.” Also according to Argentin-

ean law, “ownership of brothels and pimping are not allowed.” Argentinean prostitutes are represented by the Association of Women Prostitutes of Argentina, Ammar (from Spanish, “to love”). The organization aims for a strong and healthy relationship with women working in prostitution and protecting them from being criminalized by the police. Prostitution in Argentina is an excellent example how following rules can protect sex workers. On the other hand, Hawai‘ i’s anti-prostitution regulation advocates place everybody who sells sex under the same umbrella and call them “victims of sex trafﬁcking.” Existing laws criminalize prostitutes for “promotion of prostitution.” It is not fair, however, to outlaw those who want to be in the profession, since they are not sex trafﬁcking victims.

NEVADA’S CASE

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN

Nevada is the only state where prostitution is partially legal: the state permits eight counties to have licensed brothels. There are strict State Board Health and law regulations. For instance, brothel owners are held liable for sexually transmitted diseases and it’s part of their liability to test workers for HIV/ AIDS. This makes for a safe and regulated environment for customers and employees. Prostitutes are also taxed just like any other worker. A choice of profession is personal. Disease can occur with or without prostitution, but regulation would take care of health issues and enforce hygiene. Legalization would also take care of violence because the perpetrator can be prosecuted with state laws. Victims of human trafﬁcking in Hawai‘i should be a part of victim housing and witness protection programs.

On July 13, Allison Schaefers from Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported that Hawai‘ i hoteliers want prostitution out of their establishments. American Hotel and Lodging Association has the same agenda and so do hotel chains like Hilton Worldwide, Carlson Companies, Wyndham Worldwide, Accor and Starwood. If the profession of prostitution is going to take place, prostitutes will have dedicated establishments for their business and hoteliers will have a peace of mind. The illegal status of prostitution in Hawai‘i has brought tremendous problems for workers, victims and advocates. Regulation will be progress for the entire state and will only make our economy stronger.

Instagram accounted for 1.23 percent of social media site visits last month in the U.S., Statista reported. EUNICA ESCALANTE STAFF WRITER

For most people, social media is merely a distraction. However, to third-year student and marketing major Shaneika Aguilar, social media proved to be life-changing. A single post on Aguilar’s Instagram became a career shifting moment. The shot — a photograph of a gypsy-themed bedroom accentuated with a vibrant tapestry, vinyl record player and Christmas lights strung with polaroids — gained over 500 likes on Aguilar’s personal account and thousands more when reposted by the main Urban Outfitters instagram account. Aguilar is a professional photographer. At 19 years old, her clients range from local models like Ocean Hay to international companies such as Urban Outfitters. “I’m attracted to the fashion and lifestyle side of photography because it deviates from the typical bikini pictures that are so popular in Hawai‘i,” Aguilar said. “I like showcasing something different, while still incorporating the whole beach aspect of the island.” Aguilar’s photos inhabit a different atmosphere from a stereotypical beach picture. She blends a modern style with the islands’ laid-back lifestyle to showcase Hawai‘ i’s landscapes. This artful fusion of polarizing styles is what inspired Urban Outfitters to repost her shot and to commission photographs featuring their products. Getting a “regram” from an international company is no trivial feat. Due to their prominent social media presence, the regram garnered local and national attention towards Agu-

ilar and her work. Much like many other young creatives, Aguilar’s use of social media helped to propel her career. Aguilar is part of the new generation taking advantage of new media to showcase their work and gain an edge in the workforce. “[Social media use] divides the people who will and won’t be successful,” Aguilar said. “It gives you a competitive edge compared to everyone else. ... Knowing and understanding your audience and the marketing aspect of it really helps you get yourself out there.” Social media allows people like Aguilar, who have the talent and

mately paid off as Aguilar is now a regular fixture on Urban Outfitters’ local social media accounts, gaining experience and exposure for her work. “Had I not posted on my Instagram, none of this would have happened,” Aguilar said. Aguilar stands out from the sea of filtered Instagram posts as a testament to the job market’s shifting rules. Her success is proof that conventional methods are not always guarantees of efficiency. As college students, we face a competitive job market. Post-college stereotypes of internships and networking fail to take into account

the passion, to get recognized with a simple direct message. Our daily lives are uploaded online and it is ﬁtting that businesses have begun scouting talent online. Aguilar’s social media account is now a hub for her business. Her account allows her to reach out to a wider clientele and as a portfolio to showcase her work to individual clients and companies. “I use social media to get my clients,” Aguilar said. “People direct message me asking for my rates or to schedule appointments with me. It’s basically how I do business and communication with my clients.” Her foray towards creating a larger social media presence ulti-

the inﬂuence of social media. Social media is no longer only a tool for the idle. Due to its universality, social media has become the marketing tool for the masses. Much like Aguilar, you can utilize social media sites such as Instagram, Blogspot or YouTube to showcase your creativity. Companies have also started to use social media sites to scout for potential employees. To the older generations, social media is the poster child for all the negative characteristics of the self-obsessed millennials. However, social media is where the next generation of workers communicate, express and get down to business. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

OLIVER PETALVER / THE DAILY SPORTS HERALD 

Not every player gets drafted but in summer league, every player is on a level playing field.

Basketball never stops Fighting for a roster spot, these players brought their A game this summer DAVID MCCRACKEN SPORTS EDITOR

The 2015-2016 NBA season won’t tip off until October, but Summer League basketball is alive and well for the NBA. Orlando, Utah, and Las Vegas each hosted NBA teams to participate and compete against one another this summer. Rookies and second-year players were all the buzz this past month due to their impressive play. Here are the standout players from this year’s Summer League who are primed to make an immediate impact on their respective teams this upcoming season. MARCUS SMART

It may only be his second year in the league, but Marcus Smart has looked every part of a superstar player through his summer play. The second-year player out of Oklahoma State was an all-NBA rookie second-team player, but he looked like an all-star on the court the past two weeks, averaging 24 points, 7.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds, to go along with 2.5 steals per game. Smart led all Utah summer league participants in scoring while shooting 44 percent from the ﬁeld. His stroke from three-point range has improved from his rookie year, and he looks poised to take the Boston Celtics’ young roster into a deep playoff run this upcoming season. RODNEY HOOD

Rodney Hood was a secondary option when playing for Duke University two years ago behind Jabari Parker and experienced an injury-stricken ﬁrst year in the NBA, much like Parker. Hood’s scouting report was never under scrutiny coming out of college; he could shoot the three ball, create his shot, and his high basketball IQ made him a lottery pick. This year in the Utah Summer League, Hood looks to

have raised his game to become a possible Most Improved Player nominee already. Averaging 20 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game while shooting over 54 percent from the ﬁeld, Hood will look forward to increased play time in his second season in the association. JAHLIL OKAFOR

Drawing comparisons to Tim Duncan, Okafor has averaged 18.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and one block per game during the Las Vegas Summer League, looking every part of a franchise center. Okafor fell to third in the NBA Draft this year to the Philadelphia 76ers, a team that already has centers Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid on its roster. With the news that Embiid is likely to miss his second consecutive season due to an unhealed foot injury, Okafor could hold down the center position with Noel playing beside him at power forward. The 76ers are at least two to three years away from having a competitive side that could contend in the Eastern Conference, but Okafor could anchor the offensive and be a cornerstone of the franchise for the next decade. JACK COOLEY

Jack Cooley may not be a household name to the average NBA fan, but he has become a favorite for Utah Jazz fans. The lone exception from the ﬁrst and second year players on this list, this NBA veteran has proved to his critics that he can become a prominent presence in any team’s rotation. Cooley may have averaged only nine points in less than 20 minutes of play, but was able to grab 9.7 boards per game to go along with 1.3 steals per game. No player was closer to averaging a double-double than Cooley, which should motivate him to ﬁght through Utah’s training camp to land a roster spot for the 20152016 season.

JORDAN MICKEY

A second round selection in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics, Mickey has emerged as a possible rim protector at the power forward position for the Celtics. A side that ranked near the bottom defensively, the Celtics selected the LSU product, and Mickey has looked like a steal thus far, averaging 9.7 points, ﬁve rebounds and two blocks per game. He shot 52 percent from the ﬁeld during Utah’s Summer League but was even more impressive in Las Vegas, registering 12.7 points and 10.7 rebounds per game up until the Summer league playoffs. A double-double is a notable accomplishment, but the most impressive statistic for Mickey was recording an average of three blocks and 1.3 steals per game, increasing his intensity on the defensive side of the ball.

Change is power What went well (and what didn’t) in this year’s Home Run Derby

For baseball, tradition is everything. Fans are not usually open to change, especially when it comes to the game’s rules and guidelines. This year, Major League Baseball (MLB) revamped the Home Run Derby format – adding a clock and a bracket. With the hometown player Todd Frazier as champion of the Derby, which was held at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, Ohio, the format change was just one of the quirks in this year’s competition. Here’s a look at the successes and ﬂops of the 2015 Home Run Derby:

2014’s 78 home runs — but the rhythm of the game made buzzer shots possible. In fact, that was how Albert Pujols managed to edge Kris Bryant in the first round, a feat one never sees in baseball. As for the bracket, it created more organization. Head-to-head competition was far more efficient than having five players on each league advancing to each round. The only downside was the

Those last minutes of each round really picked me up and [helped me] drive the ball out of the park a lot more. – TODD FRAZIER 2015 HOME RUN DERBY CHAMPION

THE NEW FORMAT

The outs-based system in the previous years did not make fans squirm in their seats. Players and their respective pitchers could take all the time they wanted to hit long balls until they accumulated a certain number of outs (Seven outs in 2014, 10 in years prior). However, this new format introduced a time limit. Initially, players were scheduled to have ﬁve minutes to hit as many home runs as they could. However, due to the threat of a rainout, the organization shortened it to four minutes this year. A bonus time of 30 seconds was added for every two home runs that exceeded 425 feet. The result? A fast-paced, thrilling game to watch. Not only were more home runs hit this year — 159 home runs vs.

However, Frazier’s success could have largely been motivated by a Reds-dominated crowd that chanted for the starting third baseman from start to ﬁnish. According to an interview on MLB.com, hearing the crowd roar and call his name pumped up his game. “And those last minutes of each round really picked me up and [helped me] drive the ball out of the park a lot more,” Frazier said in

potential to oust players who performed as well as, if not better than, other brackets. For example, Prince Fielder’s 13 home runs in the ﬁrst round tied or bested six players in the competition. But he still lost to the Frazier, who managed to knock off 14.

the interview. “It was a lot of fun. I appreciate that a lot.” Another factor in his win could have been the drama in batting second every round. Knowing how many home runs he had to hit to eliminate his competition was advantageous.

HOMETOWN HERO TODD FRAZIER

PITCH PERFECT

Considering the fact that Frazier only hit 10 home runs in last year’s Derby, this year was a wild success for him – he slugged 39 this year, hitting 10 or more in each round. It’s too bad for Fielder, who was the Derby champion in 2009 and 2012. Had he not been pitted against Frazier in the ﬁrst round, Fielder could have been a potential ﬁnalist instead of Joc Pederson.

Prior to this year, each player could have nearly anyone as their derby pitcher — their parents, their batting coach, their dog — as long as they could throw a ball. But now with a clock to beat, competence is everything. Fans saw that in Todd Frazier’s pitcher, his older brother Charlie, who pushed each pitch to make sure they were quality fastballs. To

be fair, Charlie Frazier was a minor leaguer who runs a baseball clinic; he had experience on his side. However, each lousy, careless pitch proved detrimental and was one of the factors in Bryant’s loss against Pujols. Despite throwing decent pitches, Bryant’s father was distracted on the mound. The Chicago Cubs rookie even had to call out his dad for the next pitch. Talk about running the clock. It’s time to scout a new pitcher for next year’s Derby, Kris. While the Derby lacked Mike Trout, Bryce Harper and Giancarlo Stanton, this year’s lineup was still an exciting contest. Pederson, who went up against Frazier in the ﬁnal round, stunned the crowd with a total of 39 moonshots – tying his counterpart in numbers. His 487-foot blast was also the longest home run of the night. Pujols, who was the National League home run champion in 2009 and 2010, also proved that veterans can compete against fresh blood. Despite the noisy outcry of a few outliers, this year’s Home Run Derby was a success, thanks to the new format and the faces represented in the lineup. Fans, reporters and analysts have generated positive responses. TV ratings are up 26 percent, according to Forbes. This time, change proved to be a good thing for MLB, and the Home Run Derby is something to look forward to next year. What do you think? Let us know @KaLeoSports
