The 2026 Home Run Derby is here.
This year's event is set for Monday, July 13, at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Of the eight participants, five are from the American League and seven will participate in the MLB All-Star Game the following day.
The Home Run Derby will have a slightly different look this season. Hitters will no longer compete under a clock and instead will have a finite number of swings to take in each round.
Hitters will get 20 swings in the first round and 15 swings in both the semifinals and finals. If a player homers on the final swing of any round, he can continue hitting until a swing does not result in a home run.
Here's what central Ohio baseball fans need to know about watching the Home Run Derby on July 13.
