WATCH: Micah Parsons details Home Run Derby win over Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys stars Micah Parsons and Dak Prescott showed their competitive fire on Tuesday night while competing in the team’s annual Reliant Energy Home Run Derby. According to the second-year defensive star out of Penn State, the bats were not to his liking and triggered a quick shopping spree for better equipment.

Micah Parsons won his round of the Home Run Derby with a little help from Dick’s Sporting Goods. After going through a practice session earlier in the day, he made a trip to the store and bought a $500 bat to give him a leg up on the competition.

“I let them know before we got out here,” said Parsons, via Jon Machota. “I went through BP and I saw the bats, and I was like, ‘I can’t use these bats.’ I went to Dick’s and bought a $500 bat before I came out here. I sweat to God. That’s my bat, I went and bought a $500 bat just so I could hit home runs today. … I said give me the most powerful bat you’ve got, so that’s just the competitive nature in me.”

Dak Prescott came out on the losing end, calling the bat a “cheat code” for Parsons. The defensive star told reporters he definitely made a good investment.

“I got my money’s worth,” said Parsons. “That’s how competitive I am, I want to do everything to win. And because it’s a cause, so my $500 paid off. I think we won $7,000 in the first round so extremely excited about it.

“I’m going to let everybody use it. Shoot, we could probably donate the bat after.”
