The Home Run Derby and All-Star Game are here at last.
The 2022 MLB Home Run Derby live broadcasts are about to begin (and, yes, the All-Star Game is almost here, too). For the yearly game, there are many chess pieces on the board. The Yankees’ Aaron Judge hopes to put the controversy behind him by helping the AL win it this year after reaching a contract deal last month.
Oh, and did you know that if the All-Star Game is tied after nine innings, something else happens? Then, we have a mini-derby in which three players from each league take three swings at the plate to determine the winner.
Shohei Ohtani, who was chosen as both a pitcher and designated hitter for the second year in a row, will support Judge. The only player to ever do this once, much less twice, is him.
Pete Alonso hopes to become the second player to ever win the Home Run Derby three times. Only Ken Griffey Jr. has been able to do it.
In case you forgot, according to the regulations of the derby, hitters have two minutes and three seconds, respectively, to smash home runs in the final round. The last 30 to 60 seconds are provided, with hitters receiving the whole 60 if they smash a home run that travels at least 440 feet. Each batter is permitted one timeout every round.
Also, if you want to see more of the Yankee great, hang around after the Home Run Derby when the Derek Jeter biopic The Captain makes its premiere.
