The home run totals from the previous round(s) will NOT be carried over to the next round(s). If the higher-seeded player takes the lead over his opponent, the round ends (no bonus time will occur if the lead changes in the regulation time in a round). A player with more home runs than his opponent will move on to the next round. In each bracket, a player with the higher seed gets to bat second. NOTE: Trey Mancini did not play in 2020 (due to his battle with colon cancer), so his home run total in 2019 is used. Ties were broken by a player with the higher home run total in the whole 2020. The participants are seeded based on their 2021 home run totals at the end of July 6, 2021. If a tie remains after the tie-breaking swing-off, both batters will do successive 3-swing swing-offs (without a timer) until there is a winner (a player with more but not equal homers). A participant cannot use a timeout (even though he did not use it in a round just ended). If there is a tie among both participants in the bracket, there will be a 60-second swing-off. A special T-Mobile magenta ball (used unlimited times) will be used in the bonus time (this special ball will be counted only as 1 homer). A timer will start at the first pitch of the bonus time. ![]() His bonus time can be extended for another 30 seconds (only 1-time extension per round) if he hits a homer that is 475+ feet in distance in his regulation time, so he is granted the bonus time of maximum of 60 seconds. He cannot use a timeout in the bonus time. He is going to the bonus time for 30 seconds. After a timeout, the timer will be reactivated on the next pitch.Īfter the regulation time, he is taking a 1-minute break (not a timeout). A participant can take a timeout for 45 seconds in the regulation time. The clock starts with the release of the first pitch. The final round consists of only 2 minutes. The participants in the 1st and 2nd rounds have 3 minutes in the regulation time to hit as many home runs. The format is the bracket-style timed event. It is televised on ESPN at 8pm EDT, 6pm MDT. It is taken place before the 2021 MLB All-Star Game. It is taken place on Monday, July 12, 2021, at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado.
