He currently has the fourth-highest first-half total for any MLB rookie, behind Mark McGwire , Aaron Judge and Jose Abreu . • Vlad Jr. will be the youngest participant in Derby history, at 20 years and 114 days. That breaks a record set by Ken Griffey Jr. , with Bryce Harper the only other player to take part before turning 21. Guerrero already is the youngest Blue Jays player to homer, having broken Danny Ainge’s 40-year-old record. They will play three timed rounds with the top four from the first round advancing to the next, and the top two from the second round advancing to the finals. The eight-player bracket gota bit of a shakeup on Sundayas Christian Yelich, the reigning National League MVP, pulled out of the Home Run Derby with a back injury.

Each player aims to hit as many home runs as possible during their four-minute window in each round. Players receive a bonus 30 seconds per round if they have hit at least two home runs that travel over 440 feet. Chapman will be the number one seed, even though Pete Alonso, Josh Bell and Alex Bregman have hit more regular-season homers than he has.

His 53 big flies since the start of 2018 tie him for 13th in the Majors with the two more traditional sluggers, Nelson Cruz and Rhys Hoskins. This is a star-studded matchup between two of the leagues most exciting players. Chapman has certainly had a powerful year, as well as he has smacked 21 homers thus far.

The seeding was determined by the number of home runs hit on the season, while tiebreakers were decided by the number of homers since June 15. Participants will battle it out in an eight-man bracket format, which has been in effect since 2015. Players have four minutes to hit in each round, with the opportunity for extra time by hammering a ball 440 feet or more. If there is a tie after the final round, a 90-second swing-off will determine the winner.

• Bell already has more than doubled his 2018 total of 12 home runs in 148 games, and he is fast approaching his career high of 26, set in 2017. He is only the second Pirates hitter to reach 25 homers by the break, joining Bucs great Willie Stargell (30 in both 1971 and ‘73). • If there is a home-field advantage to be had, it will belong to Santana, who has spent nine of his 10 big league seasons with the Indians. Santana’s 97 career home runs at Progressive Field puts him fourth on the all-time list at the ballpark, which opened as Jacobs Field in 1994.

Yelich, who has 31 homers, would have been competing in his first Derby. During preparation for the event, the cops called on him for breaking a boat window during batting practice at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. There will also be a new Home Run Derby champion this year, too, as last year's winner, Bryce Harper, will not defend his title. The only player from last year's competition to compete again is Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman.

Home Run Derby format, rules

The Royal Variety Performance is back in 2022 and will be available to watch on TV and online pretty soon. You'll find ESPN in the Orange and Orange + Blue bundles, along with ESPN 2 and ESPN 3. ESPN Deportes, which will host the Spanish broadcast can be found in the Best of Spanish bundle, which is $5 per month. The eight competitors for Monday’s event, in order of their seed, are Chapman, Alonso, Bell, Bregman, Pederson, Acuna Jr., Cleveland Indians’ Carlos Santana and Guerrero Jr. Fans can also watch by downloading the ESPN app in the Android and iTunes stores.

New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso has won the last two editions of the derby and could become the first to win three in a row, as well as only the second player to win three times in their career. Dodger Stadium is hosting the Home Run Derby on Monday, baseball's annual jewel event held the night before the All-Star Game. The longest home run, amongst the total 312 hit by the 8 players involved, covered a distance of 488 ft (148.74 m), and was hit by the runner-up of the contest, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Fans can watch the contest online via livestream with Hulu or Sling. On the other hand, has burst onto the scene this season with 27 first-half homers while leading the MLB in RBI with 84 going into the All-Star break.

• Because he generally is not hitting the ball as hard or as far as some others, Bregman racks up lots of homers by ranking well above average in contact rate and line drive/fly ball rate, and by pulling the ball. He has pulled 40 homers in the past two seasons -- about three-quarters of his total and the second-most in the Majors behind only Edwin Encarnacion. • On May 14 at San Francisco’s notoriously pitcher-friendly Oracle Park, Guerrero hit the first two home runs of his career, and did so in style. He joined Bell , Nelson Cruz, Gary Sanchez, Giancarlo Stanton, Trevor Story and Mark Trumbo. Yelich's potential matchup with Pete Alonso in the championship round, if they win their first two rounds, would be an exciting battle between two power hitters.

If Yelich wins, he would be just the second Brewers player to win the Derby and have the potential to follow in Pujols' footsteps to be the Senior Circuit's first back-to-back MVP since Pujols in 2008 and 2009. The two are quite evenly matched, with Bregman knocking 23 homers compared to Pederson's 20. The two's slugging percentages are also off by just .001, with Bregman leading with a .535.

Report: Blue Jays Pursuing Michael Conforto

Pittsburgh Pirates' Josh Bell is among eight competitors in this year’s All-Star Game Home Run Derby, which is handing out a $1 million prize to the winner. The bracket is loaded with competitors who should put on quite a show in pursuit of the newly robust prize money. Both of these competitors have some of the biggest personalities in the game, as seen when talking to the media or on the field with bat flips. They’re also going to be participating in their second Home Run Derby.

They will receive 30 additional seconds in a round if they notch at least two home runs that travel more than 440 feet.
