The last time an Oriole won the Home Run Derby was 2004, when Miguel Tejada pulled off the title. For the fourth year in a row, the Orioles have a player in the derby. It’ll be Mark Trumbo looking to win the crown this time around.
The Derby gets under way at 8pm Eastern. It will air on ESPN and will be simulcast to MLB.com, so you might even get to watch if you are a cord-cutter. This will entail putting up with the “Back, back, back, gone!” stylings of Chris Berman, so, you know.
For this year, the format will continue as last year, with head-to-head matchups rather than the whole field taking on one another at a time.
