Maybe it needed some shaking up but this feels needlessly complicated to me. Why do we have both a clock and a pitch total?
COMPETITION FLOW
• 1ST ROUND
• 8 Hitters (top 4 advance). Tie is broken by the longest HR in the first round.
SEMI-FINALS
• Bracket Style: 3 vs 2, 4 vs 1
• Based on 1st Round HR totals
FINAL
• Top 2 Face Off
RULES
• 1ST ROUND AND SEMI-FINALS
• 3 minute round. 40 pitches. One timeout
• 3 bonus outs. (every swing is a HR or an out)
• A 425′ HR in the bonus period earns a 4th bonus out
FINALS
• 2 minute round. 27 pitches. One timeout
• Same bonus rules apply
Now a pitch limit? Lmao better have the best BP pitcher there is
I doubt the pitch limit is going to come into play, that’s a pitch every 4.5 seconds (little less in the finals). Kinda wonder why they implemented it.
The HR derby has been shit ever since it went time-based. The entire point of it is to admire 500 foot dongs and watch everyone’s reactions. But now the next pitch has been thrown before the ball has even landed and you don’t get to see much of anything.
I guess I’ll say that I like the rules.
10 outs, hit as many as you can in the first rd. Top 2 advance. There is no need for three rounds. Longest HR is tiebreaker.
TL;DR:
For every home run that is hit, Eduardo Perez will eat a mouthful of peanut butter.
What is a « bonus out »? That’s the only thing I don’t really understand.
Improvement but still feel like that is too many pitches per round. 40 pitches is still 4.5 seconds per pitch and only 3 less pitches than were averaged per round last year which still doesn’t leave a lot of time to actually watch the home runs.
The good thing with the pitch limit is that we will see less pitches per batter. Meaning you won’t get a pitch being thrown before the ball has landed. It’s also something a hitter and their BP Pitcher should practice to get the timing down.
Just bring back 10 outs and maybe add a pitch clock.
can we just go back to 10 outs please
1st round bracket being done is good. Should do the same for the 2nd round. 7th place guy shouldnt advance because he was matched up against the 8th place guy.
I’d rather them add a minute or two to the timer and keep 40 pitches so I could actually see where the ball goes before they throw another
This feels unnecessary complicated.
Still have no interest in glorified batting practice
They should go back to the OG HRD format. 3 inning game, 3 outs per inning, called strikes and any swing not a home run is an out.
