Home Run Derby

10 swings. 5 takes. 15 pitches max. How many can you hit out?

HOW IT WORKS

Power meets precision

Player must provide their own pitcher and the pitcher must be an adult.

Each player receives up to 15 pitches. A pitch is either a swing (home run or out) or a take (no swing). The round ends when the player reaches 10 swings or 15 total pitches, whichever comes first. A maximum of 5 takes is allowed — a 6th take automatically counts as an out.

The player with the most home runs in their division wins.

What Counts as a Home Run?

A batted ball that clears the fence at the designated distance for the player's age division. Any ball that does not clear the fence is counted as an out.
