Recorded only seven of ten outs before hitting winning home run. 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.

In 67 innings on the mound, he has a 3.49 ERA with 87 strikeouts, en route to a 4-1 record. Los Angeles Angels two-way phenomenon Shohei Ohtani, who leads the league in home runs with 33 so far this season, earned the top seed. But he couldn't make it out of the first round, falling to Washington Nationals right fielder Juan Soto after two tiebreakers.

As with 2019, the prize pool for the contestants totals $2.5 million, with the winner receiving $1 million of that total. The bracket is a single-elimination bracket with three rounds total. Please allow additional time if international delivery is subject to customs processing. Recorded only five of ten outs before hitting winning home run.

Gallo is also tied for first with eight moonshots struck with a launch angle of 40-plus degrees. After Ohtani tied him, he hit six more homers in a one-minute tiebreaker, including a 500-footer, to put the pressure back on Ohtani -- who proceeded to tie things up again. That led to another swing-off, this one featuring three swings for each guy. Soto was perfect, going three-for-three, including a 506-foot blast. The four-minute round length was made permanent in 2016, while the minute of bonus time was reduced to 30 seconds and required two home runs of at least 440 feet (134.1 m). Each batter is allowed one time-out during each round, and two in the finals.

He also ranks first in that span in homers hit 110-plus mph , and he's tied for first in homers hit 440-plus feet . • While Guerrero may have made the biggest impression in the 2019 Derby, it was Alonso who walked away with the trophy (and the $1 million prize). He did it by launching 57 total homers , including 20 in a semifinal victory over Ronald Acuña Jr. and 23 in the final showdown with Guerrero. Alonso earned bonus time in all three rounds by hitting at least three homers 440-plus feet, but he never actually needed it -- walking off his opponent before the end of regulation.

Ties in any round are broken by a 60-second tiebreaker with no bonus time or timeouts. If a tie remains, the contestants will engage in successive three-swing swing-offs until there is a winner. 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. At one point, Soto hit just one homer in the span of 13 swings, and while he recovered a bit, he finished regulation with only eight.

If a batter hit a home run using the golden ball, Century 21 Real Estate and Major League Baseball would donate $21,000 (a reference to the "21" in "Century 21") per home run to charity . In both 2005 and 2006, $294,000 was raised for the charities, equaling fourteen golden ball home runs per year. State Farm continued this in 2007 as they designated $17,000 per home run (one dollar for each of State Farm's agencies), to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. In the 2007 event, fifteen golden balls were hit for a donation of $255,000, and ten ($170,000) were hit in the 2008 event. For 2009, State Farm added $5,000 for all non-Gold Ball homers, and $517,000 was collected.

But thanks to a rule exception for a game that doesn't affect the standings anyway, he'll be allowed to stay in at DH. The Home Run Derby may just be the high point of the All-Star break. It certainly provides its fair share of highlights, with many of MLB's best power hitters facing off in a tournament to determine baseball's top slugger. New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso prevailed, defending his 2019 rookie-year title by topping Baltimore Orioles right fielder Trey Mancini, a recent cancer survivor who gave an inspiring performance. The longest home run, among the total 309 hit by the eight players involved, covered a distance of 520 ft (158.50 m), and was hit by Juan Soto. This broke the record of longest home run hit in the derby, surpassing Aaron Judge's 513 ft (156.36 m) home run from 2017.

While Ohtani was knocked out early in the Home Run Derby, he'll have a chance to redeem himself Tuesday night.

The tally reset for each round, with the top four advancing to the second round, and the top two advancing to the final. As noted, the Statcast broadcast of the game continues to grow in popularity and ESPN is supporting the broadcast significantly on ESPN2. The broadcast team will see the return of Jason Benetti, Olympic Gold Medalist, and analyst Jessica Mendoza, and MLB Statcast analyst Mike Petriello. Benetti, Mendoza, and Petriello will also host a Statcast edition of Baseball Tonight on ESPN2 beginning at 7 p.m. • Ohtani isn’t just hitting homers -- he’s destroying baseballs.

Separate from the regular home run derby, if the All-Star Game itself is tied after nine innings, a second home run derby will be held to determine the winner. It will not be timed, and each manager will pick three players to make three swings each to hit as many home runs as possible. In 2021, the time limit was changed to three minutes plus a bonus of thirty seconds, with an additional thirty seconds of bonus time added if a player hit a home run over 475 feet during regulation. In case of a tie, the contestants get one additional minute.

The 2021 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby was a home run hitting contest between eight batters from Major League Baseball .

As the event traditionally takes place at sunset where the sun is of no factor to the batter, they can choose to wear their hat casually and backwards. The left-handed batter has pulled about two-thirds of his career homers. An extended timeout and a hilarious hit-by-pitch from Alonso’s BP pitcher, Mets bench coach Dave Jauss, hardly broke Alonso’s concentration.
