In round two, Adam Martin of the Charlotte Knights and Valerio Guillen of the Boston Red Sox were unable to overcome the big lead the finalists had entering the round and were eliminated. The other competitors who participated and were eliminated in the first round included Frank Jorgensen and Jake Clapp of the Philadelphia Phillies, Rafael Nieves of the Chicago Cubs, and Rick Melhuse of the Toronto Blue Jays.
