The defending champion Pete Alonso is also amongst the field. In addition, the home team hitter, Trevor Story is in the field this year. Furthermore, there five American League hitters and three National League hitters. Since the change to the bracket format, the #1 seed has not won the home run derby, but fans are excited to watch Ohtani compete nonetheless. To see the complete rules change and format check it out here. For example, Shohei Ohtani has the most home runs amongst the participants. Each participant receives a seed number and are ranked based on the number of home runs they currently have in the regular season. To keep it simple, the MLB eliminated the “outs” format and changed it to the bracket format. The MLB changed the home run derby rules in 2015. Also, the home run derby participants and bracket are set and I will give you my MLB Home Run Derby 2021 betting picks!
Despite not having a home run derby and All-Star game last season because of COVID, the action returns this summer! I am definitely excited to watch the home run derby this year. But after Alonso hit 17 home runs in the two-minute regulation, the Mets’ star homered on all six of his bonus round swings to take the title and $1 million prize.The mid-summer classic is here and just like that we are halfway through the MLB season. Mancini, who is in his first year back since recovering from stage 3 colon cancer, hit 22 home runs in the final, putting pressure on Alonso to perform. Soto hit 46 home runs total in the event. Soto’s longest dinger of the round was a 481-foot rocket.Īlonso quickly eliminated the Nats’ star before his three-minute regulation time concluded to go to advance to the finals against Trey Mancini. In bonus time, Soto found his rhythm, hitting seven more home runs, for 15 total. Soto hit only eight home runs in regulation which included a one for 13 dry spell. In the second round, an exhausted Soto fell to Pete Alonso, the defending champion of the event. The balls had an exit velocity of 107 MPH. His average home run distance in the first round was 452 feet. Helluva Sho put on by two FACES OF #HRDerby // #NATITUDE /E94cMX8kIv

Only took 3 minutes plus bonus time plus extra bonus time plus a swing-off.
The two stars then went to a double-overtime swingoff (3 swings), where Soto went 3 for 3, eliminating the Japanese star after he grounded out with his first pitch. Soto hit 18 homers in the three-minute regulation and hit four more in his one-minute bonus period, including one moonshot that went 504 feet, for 22 total.Īfter a clutch Ohtani matched Soto’s total, the 22-year-old World Series-winner homered six more times in the bonus round, which included a 500-foot roundtripper. He hit the longest HR ever tracked at the HR Derby, with an estimated distance of 520 feet. Soto’s sixth homer in the first round went 520 feet, breaking the all-time Statcast distance record. Soto, who has huge power but not shown much pop this season (12 home runs), quickly found his groove with Nationals’ hitting coach Kevin Long pitching. He will be the American League’s starting pitcher and bat first on Tuesday night. The Angels DH has hit 33 home runs so far this season, most in the major leagues, and is the first player in MLB history to be voted into an All-Star Game as both a player and a pitcher. Soto had the unenviable task of matching up against “Shotime” in the first round.
