What is the format of Home Run Derby LMB 2023?
Players will score based on the number of home runs they hit up to the day before the LMB Home Run Derby, Friday June 16th. This means that during the match, clubs are ranked from highest to lowest.
The event will be one first and second round, in which contestants are entitled to 10 outs (any swing that is not a home run). The four batters with the most homers qualify for the next round.
After the two rounds, the two players with the most home runs in the first and second rounds advance to the finals. After that, in the crucial phase, the one that connects the most hit will be the champion of the tournament.
Come on tie criteria will be the following:
- In the event of a tie in the first two rounds, the longest connected home run in the disputed round will be used as a criterion.
- In the event of a tie in the final, sudden death occurs until one competitor hits a home run and the other misses.
