We've got a derbys a-doin'! Here are this year's rules, per SBNation:
The Home Run Derby features a head-to-head format with an eight-man bracket. The champion will have to win three rounds by hitting more home runs than their opponent within the allotted time frame.
The first round and second round of the derby will have three minutes on the clock. The final round lasts for two minutes. Every competitor will be awarded 30 seconds of bonus time following each round. A hitter can earn an additional 30 seconds of bonus time if they hit a home run that measures at least 475-feet in the regulation period of that round.
Once a player surpasses their matchup in home runs, the clock stops and the round is over. Whoever hits the most home runs in each head-to-head matchup advances until a winner is crowned.
A home run counts as long as the pitch leaves the pitcher’s hand before the clock expires.
Hitters have one timeout to take in each round. Timeouts last for 45 seconds. Timeouts are not permitted during bonus time.
Julio Rodríguez beat Corey Seager earlier and Alonso just surpassed Acuña's 19 home runs to move into the second round.
Pretty cool Albert Pujols is in this
It is cool. I don't think his 13 in round one will be enough unfortunately.
Schwarber ties him with 13 so swing off time.
Pujols hits seven more and outlasts Schwarber's six in his extra time.
No worries about Poo Holes ruining his swing.
Juan Soto hits 18 home runs to surpass José Ramirez's 17.
Pete Alonso falls to Rodríguez. No Three-Pete this time.
Future Twin Juan Soto advances
