MLB announces rule changes to the beloved Home Run Derby

The Home Run Derby will be slowing down a bit to address player safety concerns. No longer will a player see however many pitches they can squeeze into a round, but instead will see a maximum of 40, which is less than last year's average of 43 per round. The first two rounds will be three minutes, and the final round will be two minutes. Further, bonus attempts won't be clocked as in the past, but will allow three "outs" to each batter with the potential to earn more for homers over 425 feet. Lastly, the first round will not be head-to-head, but the top half of the eight hitters will advance to the semifinals.
