The Hidden Secret Behind Choosing the Ultimate Derby Winner Revealed!

How does the Derby work this year? It seems to be pretty similar to what happened last year. In the first round, the hitters are allowed three minutes or 40 pitches – whatever comes first – to hit as many bombs as possible. They also get a bonus period after the 40 pitches or the time is expired. In this stretch, they are done if they get three outs. However, they can get a bonus South if they hit a homer of at least 425 feet in the bonus period. So… a bit confusing. The bottom line is the batter will be up there for roughly four minutes and has to hit a bunch of homers. The four players with the most go on to the next round. Ties go to whoever has the longest homer in the round. After that first round, it then becomes a bracket with the player who hit the most homers faces the player who hit the least. In that second round, they get only two minutes or 27 pitches. I’m not 100% sure if there will be a bonus in the second round or the Finals. In the Finals it is the same two minutes or 27 pitches.
