Pete Alosno has an opportunity to win his third consecutive Home Run Derby crown in 2022. No other player has won three straight, although Ken Griffey Jr. owns the most all-time victories in the event with three. Griffey Jr. first won in 1994, and then followed up with back-to-back wins in 1998 and 1999.
Griffey became the first player to hit the B&O Warehouse across Eutaw Street from Camden Yards, but Gonzalez won the Derby, defeating Griffey in a sudden-death swing-off. The 1998 Derby marked the first live telecast of the event, as fans tuned in to see Griffey win his second trophy. Griffey almost didn't participate, but he was booed in batting practice the day prior and ultimately changed his mind. Howard dropped six balls into the Allegheny River -- four on the fly, two on the bounce -- en route to a Derby victory.
Home Run Derby records: Most home runs hit in a single round, year and career in MLB history
Delahanty and Horner are the only players to hit four home runs in a game as a part of a losing effort. Sosa out-hit the field with 12 homers in Round 1, but he ran out of gas in the finals, losing 7-1 to Giambi in Milwaukee. The co-operative world record is held by Wario and Roy at 88,001.3 feet (26,822.8 meters), again accomplished by YouTube user Teitoku06142. The co-operative world record is held by Ike and the Ice Climbers at 114,594.8 feet (34,928.5 meters), by YouTube user Teitoku06142 . Rosalina's Comet Observatory is visible in the background if Sandbag is launched this high.
Originally, before the game's release in Europe, North America and Japan had a competition between each other for the highest HRC scores. This then moved out to include Europe when the game was released in its PAL version. This competitive nature has continued and grown onto SSBB, especially due to the replay function and video streaming sites such as YouTube. The Home-Run Contest (ホームランコンテスト, Home-Run Contest) is a minigame in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, and Super Smash Bros.
What is in This Collection?[edit | edit source]
Only three participants, Yoenis Céspedes, Stanton, and Pete Alonso, have won the Home Run Derby without being selected to the All-Star Game. Alonso broke Guerrero's first-round record in 2021 with 35 homers on his way to his second straight Derby Title . Abreu never hit more than 31 home runs in a season, but he topped that in one night, establishing new records with 41 total homers and a 24-homer first round for his native Venezuela. The eight players represented their home countries in 2005 as part of a promotion for the inaugural World Baseball Classic. From 2005 to 2013, a gold ball has been used once a player reaches nine outs (in 2014 when the T-Mobile Ball came into play, six; since 2015, during the final minute). If a batter hit a home run using the golden ball, Century 21 Real Estate and Major League Baseball would donate $21,000 (a reference to the "21" in "Century 21") per home run to charity .
Those 53 homers were also the most by any rookie in big league history, eclipsing the mark previously set by Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge. Though Alonso raised the trophy, the highlight of the event may have come in the semifinals, when it took Guerrero three rounds of swing-offs to finally outlast Joc Pederson, 40-39. In Melee, it is also possible for some characters to hit the Sandbag with the handle of the bat, causing what is known as a no-ping hit, which sends the Sandbag at a much sharper angle. A no-ping hit only does 8% damage rather than 20%, but the change in angle causes the Sandbag to fly much farther when its damage is relatively low (lower than about 120%). For example, using a no-ping hit when Sandbag is only at 35% damage sends the Sandbag over 1000 feet (304.8 meters). Pichu, Pikachu, and Mr. Game & Watch can take advantage of their unique swing animations to perform a no-ping hit simply by walking next to the bag, facing away, and swinging.
Reading These Records[edit | edit source]
Hits further than the bat at ~180%Does 23%Generally performed after lightly throwing the bat upwards then charging the Smash, but has same knockback in the air and on the ground.King Dedede's fully-charged Forward Smash. Knocking the sandbag to the platform's left will automatically result in zero distance. There is a shield around the platform which prevents the Sandbag from being knocked out without sufficient force. The shield is breakable, but it greatly lowers the difficulty of bringing the sandbag's damage up. But will the 2022 field be able to post any historically great numbers?
The setting has been changed to a runway in the middle of a lake. The background stadium is replaced with a lavish Smash themed fortress. The lake eventually turns into a series of waterfalls that lead into a canyon, where the runway turns into an isolated bridge to keep a level surface. Additionally, the Home-Run Bat sports its own unique Smash attack animations, allowing Captain Falcon and Sheik to properly use it for the contest. Knocking Sandbag to the platform's left will automatically result in no distance. On July 11, 1988, the day before the Major League Baseball All-Star Game from Cincinnati, TBS televised the annual All-Star Gala from the Cincinnati Zoo.
Separate from the regular home run derby, if the All-Star Game itself is tied after nine innings, a second home run derby will be held to determine the winner. It will not be timed, and each manager will pick three players to make three swings each to hit as many home runs as possible. Hitting with the handle of the bat can cause what is known as a no-ping hit. A no-ping hit is used to hit the Sandbag a lot farther than a regular bat hit at damage percentages lower than about 120%. Using a no-ping hit when the Sandbag is only at 35% damage will send the Sandbag over 1000 feet (304.8 meters).
If Mr. Game & Watch uses Extreme Judge , it will be changed to regular Judge and always land a 6 as usual. Moves that would require an unreachably high damage to outperform the Home-Run Bat are not listed. The bat only appears after six seconds have passed, removing opportunities for early bat drop combos.
Stanton peppered Petco Park with baseballs en route to a Derby-record 61 homers. He logged the 10 longest home runs of the night, as well as the 20 hardest-hit blasts, topping out at 120.4 mph, per Statcast™. Guerrero's 91 homers in 2019 are the record, but to be fair to Alonso, he never got to hit first in a round and set a total.
In addition, like batting practice, the batter remains in the batter's box after each swing, and does not run, nor circle the bases to score a run. In 2021, the time limit was changed to three minutes plus a bonus of thirty seconds, with an additional thirty seconds of bonus time added if a player hit a home run over 475 feet during regulation. If there still is a tie, each contestant gets three swings, and repeats on ties thereafter. The Home Run Derby format was changed significantly in 2014, as MLB sought to speed-up the contest and increase the drama.
Martinez surprised by outlasting decorated sluggers such as Frank Thomas, McGwire, Griffey and Walker to become the first Yankees player to win the Derby. This year featured six representatives from the AL and four from the NL. Griffey won his second consecutive Derby crown and third overall. McGwire impressed, clubbing 13 home runs in the first round and tying Griffey with 16 total, but was eliminated in the second round by Burnitz. Ortiz defeated his former and future Boston teammate Ramirez in the 2010 Derby, dedicating the victory to the late Dominican Republic native Jose Lima, a former Major League pitcher who passed away earlier that season. Cano closely outhit Gonzalez, who was representing the rival Red Sox, with a victory in the final round at Chase Field.
