In arguably the best event of All-Star week, the 2024 Home Run Derby will take place on Monday.
Some of the best home run hitters in baseball will be taking aim at the Globe Life Field stands on Monday in one of the most anticipated events of the summer. While the prospect of a back-to-back champion is out of the picture — 2023 winner Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not a part of this year’s field — Pete Alonso will try to become the second player to win the event three times, joining the elite company of Ken Griffey Jr.

Four American League players and four National League players make up the field. In the National League it will be Alonso from the Mets, Alec Bohm from the Phillies, Teoscar Hernandez from the Dodgers, and Marcell Ozuna from the Braves. The four American League participants will be Adolis García from the Rangers, Gunnar Henderson from the Orioles, Jose Ramirez from the Guardians, and Bobby Witt Jr. from the Royals.
MLB the rules from the recent bracket-style format. Instead of quarterfinal matchups, all eight hitters will compete against one another. The players with the top four home run totals will advance to the semifinals. From that point, the top home run hitter from the first round will face the lowest, and the middle two will battle to compose the two semifinal matchups.
The league has also placed a cap on the total number of pitches allowed in the three-minute opening rounds (40) and in the two-minute final round (27). To prevent hitters from tiring out and swinging at everything, they will now need to choose their swings more wisely. Hitters will still receive a bonus period, but it will be “three outs” instead of additional time added on.
