The 2024 MLB Home Run Derby marks the opening event of All-Star week. Eight sluggers take to the field with one simple goal in mind: hit as many home runs as possible. The venue this year is Arlington, Texas and Globe Life Field, home of the world champions, the Texas Rangers.
The rules look a bit different this year, as we have been used to the bracket format over the previous editions of this event. There is now no bracket in the first round. Instead, the eight competitors will be facing off with each other. The top four scores will advance to the semifinals, then the knockout bracket style commences.
