Competition starts at 8 p.m. ET on Monday night
Online streaming for the event, which starts at 8 p.m. ET, is available through Watch ESPN and MLB.com, and the Home Run Derby will be televised by four different ESPN networks.
Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper is the de facto host of this event, and since this is his second derby the 25-year-old is the dean of this year’s field. The other seven participants are in their first Home Run Derby. Three players in the field — Rhys Hoskins, Max Muncy and Kyle Schwarber — didn’t make the All-Star team, and another three — Jesus Aguilar, Javier Baez and Alex Bregman — are making their first All-Star appearance.
The main television coverage is on ESPN, with Karl Ravech and Mark Teixeira are on the call, along with analyst Jessica Mendoza and reporter Buster Olney roaming the field during the contest.
ESPNews will have an enhanced broadcast with data provided by Statcast, so you can fill your heart’s content with exit velocity, launch angle and all the distance you can handle. Jason Benetti and Eduardo Perez are on the call for that broadcast.
ESPN2 will simulcast the ESPN Deportes call of the Home Run Derby in Spanish, with Ernesto Jerez, Luis Alfredo Álvarez and Guillermo Celis describing the action.
The players were seeded based on their home run totals through Tuesday, July 10, with Brewers first baseman Aguilar earning the top seed. The bracket consists of three single-elimination rounds of four minutes each.
