I only found this out today, mostly because I don't care that much, but there are new rules for the home run derby this year.

Round 1:
8 players, 4 advance, no bracket
Round is 3 minutes or 40 pitches and you get 1 timeout

Round 2:
Ranked 1-4 from previous round; 1 v 4 and 2 v 3
Round is 3 minutes or 40 pitches and you get 1 timeout

Finals:
Winners advance
Finals is 2 minutes or 27 pitches and 1 timeout

At the end of your time or pitch max, you get 3 bonus outs, home runs do not count as an out. A home run over 425 feet gets you a bonus out, but you only get one bonus out

Hopefully Bohm goes out in the 1st round quickly so his swing isn't irreparably damaged for the rest of the season.

They talked about this one MLB Now the other day. The data didn’t/doesn’t really support it. Some got worse, some got better, & some stayed around the same. It was a pretty mixed bag. But naturally when talking the whole league as a whole generally players numbers fall off as the season goes on.

I detest the timed rounds

One of the best moment in HR derby history would have been massively diminished under the current format.



Players can't stop and watch where the ball they hit goes. Its just a really stupid format.

Hell, the viewing audience can barely watch where the ball goes.

20 Homers for Bohm in Round 1!

[JojoTheWhale]

The camera angle from behind the lefty box with the tails is A++.

 

[Rebels57]

[Flybynite]

[Hollywood Cannon]

Typical Phillies. Think they have it in the bag and put up a zero.

 

[Rebels57]

Even fun events become excruciating when it involves Philly lol

 

[Rebels57]

Oakland isn't #30. This list is a farce already.
