For the first time in a decade, Major League Baseball is removing the timer from the T-Mobile Home Run Derby, allowing players to hit as many homers as possible with their allotted swings per round. Eight players hit individually, with the top four advancing to the semifinals. The top two players then move on to the finals where a champion is crowned.

MLB legends Barry Bonds, CC Sabathia, Hunter Pence, and Anthony Rizzo team up with Elle Duncan, Matt Vasgersian, and Lauren Shehadi to cover the T-Mobile Home Run Derby like never before.
