MLB Home Run Derby 2019: TV Schedule, Bracket and New Format Breakdown

The Home Run Derby is ready to take center stage for Major League Baseball again on Monday, with eight of the league's most powerful hitters set to square off against each other in Cleveland.

Finding eight legitimate power hitters was no trouble this season as the league marches toward record home run numbers.

In May, MLB set a new record for home runs in a month with 1,135. That record did not last long, either. In June, it was broken with 1,142 home runs.

We will also have a new Home Run Derby champion this year, too, as last year's winner, Bryce Harper, will not participate to defend his title.
