Ohtani grounded the first pitch he saw in the final swing-off. • Although he was eliminated in the first round, Salvador Perez’s 28 home runs are now tied with Ohtani and Josh Hamilton for the fourth-highest first-round total in Derby history. They are also more than double the number of dingers that all previous Royals hit in Derby history -- Bo Jackson , Danny Tartabull and Mike Moustakas combined for 13 homers. Mammoth homers cut through the mile-high air at Coors Field, where the humidor had been turned off for the day. There were big bombs, upsets and plenty of last-second nail-biting.

It brings batters from DRS Baseball together to slam in as many homers and raise funds for an area family. This year’s Home Run Derby benefits Adeline Tiede, daughter of Jeremy Tiede and Jessica Lambrecht OF Le Center. The 21-year-old phenom put together one of the most impressive rounds in Home Run Derby history, finishing with 32 home runs. He started out hitting a series of high fly balls that scraped over the fence, transitioned into some low screaming liners that cleared the fence and then started bashing a few that cleared the whole dang stadium. While he’s only 22 years old, Soto had to be exhausted after needing two swing-offs to defeat Ohtani in the first round. It started to show, especially after the first minute, when Soto popped six dingers.

Records

• After just two Derby appearances, Alonso is already king of the event -- at least by one metric. He’s already belted his way to a staggering 131 homers in the competition, 32 more than the second-place Pederson on the all-time career Derby homer list. 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. After a discussion with ESPN's Joe Morgan and another with Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, Griffey changed his mind, and then won the Derby at Coors Field. In honor of the World Baseball Classic, the 2005 contest featured eight players from different countries.

The event has grown significantly from its roots in the 1980s, when it was not televised. Prior to 1991, the Home Run Derby was structured as a two-inning event with each player receiving five outs per inning, allowing for the possibility of ties. 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. If MLB wanted to get wild, they could use non-humidor-stored balls. And maybe that’s what it will take to not only top Mark McGwire’s 510 foot Home Run Derby jolt in 1998 that hit the façade of the Rockpile, but go much, much farther.

Colorado once again breaks the record for the largest shot-ski attempt

Alonso continued to make it look as if he could do the Derby in his sleep, reaching 12 taters and repeatedly drawing ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ from the Coors Field crowd before he took his timeout with 36 seconds left in regulation. An extended timeout and a hilarious hit-by-pitch from Alonso’s BP pitcher, Mets bench coach Dave Jauss, hardly broke Alonso’s concentration. • Ohtani averaged a home run distance of 465 feet, setting a record for the longest single-round average in any Statcast-tracked Derby dating back to 2016. He just barely topped Alonso’s 464-foot average in this year’s finals, as they both surpassed the previous record of 461 feet set by Stanton . • If you go by average homer distance, Alonso only got stronger as the night went on.

What time is the Home Run Derby?

"The last time Cincinnati hosted the MLB All-Star Game, things got weird".

That set a new record total for any Derby winner, surpassing the 61 hit by Giancarlo Stanton in 2016. As impressive as 74 homers is, it still falls well shy of the single-Derby record of 91 (!) bopped by Guerrero in a losing effort to Alonso in ‘19. The derby was first nationally televised by ESPN in 1993 on a same-day delayed basis, with the first live telecast in 1998. Although two hours are scheduled in programming listings for the telecast, it has rarely ever been contained to the timeslot and consistently runs three to four hours.

His fence-clearers averaged 447 feet in Round 1, 450 feet in the semifinals and 464 feet in the finals. Instead of the tally resetting for each round, it was only reset before the final round. Therefore, the players with the four highest totals after Round 1 advanced to Round 2, and the players with the two highest sum of Round 1 and 2 advanced to the finals. In 2000, the field reverted to the current four-player-per-league format.
