New rules for the 2024 Home Run Derby
The 2024 Home Run Derby will no longer be a strict tournament style, as we've seen in the past. Instead, all eight hitters will compete against one another in the first round, with the four best performers advancing to the semifinals and seeded 1-4 based on how many home runs they hit in the first round. Tiebreakers will be determined by each hitter's longest home run.
Through the first two rounds, each hitter will have three minutes, or 40 total pitches (whichever comes first), to rack up as many home runs as they can. Each will be granted one 45-second timeout that cannot be used during bonus time (which is awarded for home runs longer than 425 feet). The finals will only grant hitters two minutes or 27 pitches (excluding bonus time).
2024 Home Run Derby odds
The 2024 Home Run Derby odds will be posted once the field is complete.
As a two-time champion, Pete Alonso figures to be the betting favorite again this year.
