New for 2026: how the format works
MLB is retiring the clock that governed the Derby since 2015 and going back to a swing-based setup. Each batter gets a fixed number of swings per round instead of racing a timer, and every swing counts whether it leaves the yard or not. It rewards quality over frantic pace, and it makes the printable bracket easy to score at home.
- No timer and no outs. Swings per round: 20 in Round 1, 15 in the semifinals, 15 in the final.
- Every swing counts toward a batter’s allotment, homer or not. Homer on your last swing and you keep swinging until you fail to go deep.
- Round 1 is a single 8-batter pool (not a bracket). The four highest home-run totals advance.
- Semifinals are seeded by Round 1 totals: No. 1 vs. No. 4 and No. 2 vs. No. 3, head-to-head, with the two winners meeting in the final.
- Tiebreakers: Round 1 ties are settled by longest home-run distance; later rounds use three-swing swing-offs.
