Two more outs were then followed by a 439-foot shot and then a fountain shot and another homer to center. Trumbo would manage three more homers for a total of -- yes, math majors -- seven. He also takes a few pitches and clubs a home run to start, 420 feet. Unfortunately, that wasn't foreshadowing. He made five straight outs before hitting another.
He's in good shape to make the finals, but the low first-round total may cost him if either Trumbo or Beltran get hot. From 2005 to 2013, a gold ball has been used once a player reaches nine outs (in 2014 when the T-Mobile Ball came into play, six; since 2015, during the final minute). If a batter hit a home run using the golden ball, Century 21 Real Estate and Major League Baseball would donate $21,000 (a reference to the "21" in "Century 21") per home run to charity . In both 2005 and 2006, $294,000 was raised for the charities, equaling fourteen golden ball home runs per year. State Farm continued this in 2007 as they designated $17,000 per home run (one dollar for each of State Farm's agencies), to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

Royals fans took offense, they booed Cano when he was introduced, and they cheered every time he made an out, which he did with all ten of his swings. MLB All-Star Game festivities too expensive or too far away for you? Fear not if you live in the Northeast, because the 2012 Triple-A All Star Game and Home Run Derby are coming to Coca-Cola Park in Buffalo, NY on July 9 and July 11! Plenty of tickets are still available to these events at discounted prices. The field for the Home Run Derby will be announced here soon.
When nine outs are reached in each round, the "gold money ball" comes into play, in which State Farm donates a certain amount of money to charities if a home run is hit. This repeats until the batter records the final out. Some notable performances in the Derby include Bobby Abreu in 2005, who won the Derby with a then-record 41 homers, including a then-record 24 in the first round. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. broke the first-round record in 2019 with 29 home runs. He broke that record in the following round, hitting 40 home runs in 2 tiebreakers.

He makes three outs before hitting a 406-foot shot to get on the board. That shot was the first of three straight homers for Beltran. He would finish with seven homers, the longest of which being 436 feet. Sure, the pitches look like batting practice, but major leaguers don't stand at the plate and try to hit every pitch into the seats in batting practice. They work on specific things, hitting up the middle, driving the ball to the opposite field, hit-and-run. It's not just power swing after power swing, like it is in the Home Run Derby.
David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox won the event. Recorded only five of ten outs before hitting winning home run. Recorded only seven of ten outs before hitting winning home run.
T-Mobile Home Run Derby
McCutchen didn't make it out of the first round with four homers, but finished with a higher total than the three Pirates to appear in the Derby before him. Jason Bay ('05) and Bobby Bonilla ('90) went homerless and Barry Bonds hit two in '92. Each player will get five swings, in a bit of a sudden death round, for the right to square off against Fielder. He starts with nine straight outs, including one off the very top of the wall in left field.
In addition, like batting practice, the batter remains in the batter's box after each swing, and does not run, nor circle the bases to score a run. In the first two rounds, home run totals will carry over for those rounds. Should there be a tie after either of the first two rounds, a "swing-off" takes place.
The 2010 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby was a home run hitting contest in Major League Baseball between four batters each from the American League and National League. The derby was held on July 12, 2010, at the site of the 2010 MLB All-Star Game, Angel Stadium of Anaheim in Anaheim, California. The event was broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN 3D, and ESPN Deportes. It was also broadcast internationally on Rogers SportsNet in Canada, and ESPN America in Europe.
He'll need eight homers in his final five outs to tie Fielder. A homer, an out, an out, a homer and Bautista now has six home runs and seven outs. Two more outs and Bautista is down to his final out, trailing Fielder by six home runs. He starts with two outs before going yard, 421 feet. Through five outs, Beltran had two homers -- then he unleashed 454 feet into the fountain (furthest non-Prince Fielder bomb). With seven outs, Beltran then hit two straight, including a 459-footer into the fountain pool.

He made three outs -- and none were close to homers -- before crushing one 435 feet to get on the board.
Cargo would end with a mere four bombs, his best shot being 433 feet. The four-minute round length was made permanent in 2016, while the minute of bonus time was reduced to 30 seconds and required two home runs of at least 440 feet (134.1 m). Each batter is allowed one time-out during each round, and two in the finals.
In 2021, the time limit was changed to three minutes plus a bonus of thirty seconds, with an additional thirty seconds of bonus time added if a player hit a home run over 475 feet during regulation. In case of a tie, the contestants get one additional minute. If there still is a tie, each contestant gets three swings, and repeats on ties thereafter. In the final round, the finalists get two minutes.
In addition, a child from certain a Boys and Girls Club was assigned to each of the eight players with the child assigned to the winner receiving a $50,000 donation from State Farm and the other seven getting $10,000 for their club. In all, a total of $523,000 was donated. Beginning in 1991, the format changed to a 3-round contest. From 1991 to 2006, 8-10 players were selected and hit as many home runs as possible before reaching 10 outs in each round.
