Round-by-round breakdown of the MLB Home Run Derby
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.
It should be noted that once the second player in a given round exceeds the home run total of his opponent, the round ends. ESPN will exclusively televise the T-Mobile Home Run Derby on Monday at 8 p.m. Additionally, ESPN2 will offer a Statcast-driven alternate viewing experience for the Derby alongside the traditional telecast.

Back in 1980, the only All-Star Game appetizers were a Dodgers old-timers’ game and an American League and National League workout that fans could attend for free.

Since 2014 any homer hit off a T-Mobile Ball resulted in a $10,000 donation to charity by T-Mobile and MLB, to Team Rubicon. In the early years of the Home Run Derby, 4-10 players from both the AL and NL were selected to participate. Each player was given 2 "innings" to hit as many home runs as possible before reaching 5 outs. For the derby, an out is defined as any swing that is not a home run.
