Editing Home Run Derby (section)

====Since 2024====
The format was revised prior to the 2024 event. The first round has reverted back to an open round, where the top four competitors advance. They now have three minutes, or 40 pitches, to hit as many home runs as possible. During this run, the hitters are entitled to one 30-second timeout. After their initial run ends, the hitters go into a new, un-timed "bonus period", where they attempt to hit as many home runs as possible before making three outs (any swing that is not a home run). During this period, if a competitor hits a home run that travels over {{convert|425|ft|m|1}}, they earn an additional out to work with. Ties are broken by the distance of the longest home run; otherwise, if both players tie, a one-minute playoff, and if needed, multiple three-swing rounds to decide it.

The second round is a bracket-style round, where the competitors are seeded based on their performance in the previous round. The winners of their respective head-to-head matchup advance to the finals. The rules for the round remain the same, with the tiebreaker rules from the previous format remaining as well. 

The final round remains largely the same, except for the time limit reducing to two minutes and the pitch limit reducing to 27 pitches. Whoever hits the most home runs in the round is declared champion; otherwise, players go into a one-minute playoff, and if needed, multiple three-swing rounds to decide it.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Olney|first=Buster|title=Home Run Derby rule changes aimed at reducing frantic pace|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40469504/mlb-unveils-changes-2024-home-run-derby-rules-format|website=espn.com|publisher=[[ESPN]]|date=June 30, 2024|accessdate=June 30, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Jacobson|first1=Cole|title=New Home Run Derby format, rules announced|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/new-home-run-derby-format-rules-announced-2024|website=mlb.com|publisher=[[Major League Baseball|MLB]]|date=June 30, 2024|accessdate=June 30, 2024}}</ref>
