2024 Home Run Derby format

It won't be a full-on bracket for the 2024 derby. The first round will be all eight hitters getting the same opportunity to hit as many home runs as possible. After the first round, the top four sluggers will advance to the semifinals. The semifinalists will be seeded 1-4 based on how many home runs they hit, and from there, it will be bracket-style competition for the penultimate round and finals.

There will also be restrictions on the time and the amount of pitches a hitter gets. In the first round and semifinals, each hitter will have three minutes or 40 total pitches — whichever comes first — to get up as many home runs as possible. Each will be granted one 45-second timeout that must be used before their allotted time is up, but they can get bonus time, which is obtained for home runs longer than 425 feet. In the finals, the two hitters will get two minutes or 27 pitches — whichever comes first — before awarded bonus time.
