The Home Run Derby can be one of the most exciting events of the summer, with some of the best hitters in baseball competing against each other. It is one of the defining summer events for many sports fans and this year is sure to continue the tradition of fun. The MLB is continuing their new format of using a bracket to pair off players rather than having everyone compete against each other and having the top players move on. The Derby is a must-watch event for baseballs fans, sports fans and fans of fun in general, so make sure you find a way to watch it! Check out the list below for all the details you need to watch and a complete list of the eight participants this year.
