Home Run Derby Pick 'Em
presented by TheHomeRuns.org
Philly gets the stage this year — and if Kyle Schwarber makes the field, Citizens Bank Park won't need a sound system.
Picks open when the field is set
1 of 8 spots confirmed so far — MLB is expected to complete the field the week before the Derby. Drop your email and we'll tell you the moment picks open.
How it works
Three picks. Seven possible points. Free.
The 2026 format is new
Not the classic bracket — Round 1 is one big pool. Know the format before you pick.
20 swings each — every swing counts, no clock. A homer on the final swing extends the turn. The top 4 HR totals advance.
Semifinals are seeded by Round 1 production: 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3.
Win your matchup, move on. Totals reset — a monster Round 1 buys seeding, not a cushion.
Last two standing. Most home runs takes the 2026 Derby at Citizens Bank Park.
Tiebreakers on the field: Round 1 ties go to the longest home run; later rounds use 3-swing swing-offs.
The field
1 confirmed · 7 reported/rumored — the full field is expected in the days before the Derby.
Straight talk: our model predicts game home runs — park, pitcher, weather, matchup. A derby is batting-practice pitching and exhibition adrenaline, which we don't model. What's below are each hitter's real 2026 power numbers from our data pipeline, not model picks. Where our data can't resolve a player, you'll see a dash instead of a made-up number.
