Good hitters and home run hitters are becoming increasingly synonymous in modern baseball, and the event now showcases some of the purest swings in addition to the most powerful. Pete Alonso and Josh Bell, for example, are among the league’s leaders in batting average and homers. They’ll each be part of the eight-player tournament field.

MLB Home Run Derby 2019 format

An eight-player, three-round, single-elimination tournament will determine the Home Run Derby champion. First-round matchups are based on regular-season home run totals; Yelich, who leads MLB in home runs, will be the No. 1 seed and face the competitor with the least amount of long balls in the opening round.

Players will have four minutes in each round to hit as many home runs as possible. They will receive 30 additional seconds in a round if they notch at least two home runs that travel more than 440 feet.

Ties will be broken by a 90-second swing-off.

Home Run Derby winners

The last time Cleveland held the Home Run Derby (1997), Tino Martinez claimed the championship. He hit 16 homers in that competition, which followed a different format.
