Look no further than hometown Derby participant Todd Frazier for evidence of that. Indeed, per James, the GAP and Milwaukee's Miller Park are tied for the highest home run park factor for righthanded batters over the previous three seasons . The park factor for lefties over the same span, however, has been 152, meaning lefties hit 52% more home runs in Cincinnati than at the average major league ballpark. This stadium is a launching pad, which should make for quite a show in Monday night’s Derby. For 2022, the additional bonus time requirements reverted back to two home runs of at least 440 feet.

Funky (yeah, that's it) stuff to baseball caps used for special events. Because of the game's TV popularity, invited players have felt pressure to participate. Notably, Ken Griffey Jr. initially quietly declined to take part in 1998, partly due to ESPN scheduling the Mariners in their late Sunday game the night before.

Hitters were also allowed one 45 second "timeout" to stop the clock. Flex balls came into play during the final minute ; any homer meant a $10,000 donation by Gillette & MLB. The Home Run Derby format was changed significantly in 2014, as MLB sought to speed-up the contest and increase the drama.

The show ran for 26 episodes with the winner receiving $2,000. Future Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg took home top honors in a Derby that was decidedly toned down from what it would become in later years. He needed only three home runs to win it at Wrigley Field, his home ballpark. He began the 2018 season on the injured list while he recovered from the shoulder operation and then returned that June.

Hitters would sit on several pitches before swinging at just the right one. They can’t do that this year, and the time limit will speed up the process. Weather concerns in 2015 led to a reduction in time from five minutes per round to four minutes. The clock was not stopped in the final minute, and one minute of bonus time was granted only for hitting two home runs of at least 425 feet (129.5 m). In the early years of the Home Run Derby, 4-10 players from both the AL and NL were selected to participate. Each player was given 2 "innings" to hit as many home runs as possible before reaching 5 outs.

Machado just turned 23 a week ago, and his 19 home runs this season have already surpassed his previous career high by five. He has hit 13 home runs in his last 40 games and his line-drive approach won’t necessarily prevent him from getting balls out of the GAP. Each batter will receive a four-minute time limit per round and players will earn a 30-second bonus if they hit two homers of at least 425 feet. They can get one additional minute for hitting two home runs that equal or exceed 420 feet (as measured by MLB Advanced Media’s Statcast). A home run greater than or equal to 475 feet will result in 30 bonus seconds. The eight competing players were seeded 1-8 based on their home run totals as of July 7.

But he had Tommy John surgery on May 15, 2019, cutting short another season. The hope is this format will help the event flow more efficiently and maintain a certain level of excitement. Watch the 2015 Home Run Derby live next Monday night on ESPN. This is exactly the same 59fifty that they wore during the season, they just added a small little 2013 all star game patch on the left hand side.

The higher seed hit second in any round, and the round ended if the higher seed surpassed the total of the first hitter. In the event of a tie, the two hitters competed in a 90-second swing-off . If there remained a tie, the hitters engaged in three swing-off rounds; thereafter, sudden-death swing-off rounds until a winner was determined.

It differs from a home run hit during legal gameplay in that the batter is not competing against a pitcher and a defensive team attempting to make an out. In the Home Run Derby, all pitches are purposefully thrown slowly and at a closer range than the official 60 feet 6 inches (18.44 m) distance, usually by a coach behind a pitching screen. In addition, like batting practice, the batter remains in the batter's box after each swing, and does not run, nor circle the bases to score a run. That’s not to say that righties have a hard time getting the ball into the seats in Cincinnati.

Separate from the regular home run derby, if the All-Star Game itself is tied after nine innings, a second home run derby will be held to determine the winner. It will not be timed, and each manager will pick three players to make three swings each to hit as many home runs as possible. In 2021, the time limit was changed to three minutes plus a bonus of thirty seconds, with an additional thirty seconds of bonus time added if a player hit a home run over 475 feet during regulation. If there still is a tie, each contestant gets three swings, and repeats on ties thereafter.

Larry King hosted the broadcast with Craig Sager and Pete Van Wieren handling interviews. The broadcast's big draw would have been the Home Run Derby, which TBS intended on taping during the afternoon, and later airing it in prime time during the Gala coverage. Unfortunately, the derby and a skills competition were canceled due to rain. In honor of the World Baseball Classic, the 2005 contest featured eight players from different countries. In 2000, a "match play"-style format was instituted for the second round. The player with the most home runs in the first round faced the player with the least among the four qualifying players, as did the players with the second- and third-most totals.

Anything that was out of the park in fair territory was considered a homer. From 1991 to 2006, 8-10 players were selected and hit as many home runs as possible before reaching 10 outs in each round. The tally reset for each round, with the top four advancing to the second round, and the top two advancing to the final.

Since the inaugural derby in 1985, the event has seen several rule changes, evolving from a short outs-based competition, to multiple rounds, and eventually a bracket-style timed event. Yoenis Cespedes became the first player left out of the All-Star Game to take home the crown, needing just five outs to pass Bryce Harper in the finals with a 455 foot shot to center field. In only his second major league season, the outfielder from Cuba hit a whopping 17 home runs in the first round—more than any other player managed in their first two trips to the plate. Rizzo ranked second in the NL in home runs last year with 32 and enters the break this season with 16. Also participating in his second Derby, Donaldson didn't make it out of the first round last year. He enters this year's event tied with Manny Machado among Derby participants for most homers in July with three.

For the derby, an out is defined as any swing that is not a home run. The winner of the contest was the player with the most total home runs in the two innings. In 2000, the field reverted to the current four-player-per-league format. The only exception was 2005, when Major League Baseball changed the selection criteria so that eight players represented their home countries instead of their respective leagues. The change was believed to be in promotion of the inaugural World Baseball Classic, played in March 2006.
