The 2019 Home Run Derby is an annual home run hitting contest in Major League Baseball (MLB) customarily held the day before the MLB All-Star Game, which places the contest on a Monday in July. Since the inaugural derby in 1985, the event has seen several rule changes, evolving from a short outs-based competition, to multiple rounds, and eventually a bracket-style timed event. It is currently sponsored by T-Mobile, a wireless cellphone company.
The derby was first nationally televised by ESPN in 1993 on a same-day delayed basis, with the first live telecast in 1998. Although two hours were initially devoted to the telecast, it hasn't been uncommon for the program to run over schedule. The 2006 through 2008 events, for example, lasted nearly three hours. Since 2009, three hours are devoted to the event.
The 2019 Derby was the year's most highly rated basic cable program. Because of the game's TV popularity, invited players have felt pressure to participate. Notably, Ken Griffey Jr. initially quietly declined to take part in 1998, partly due to ESPN scheduling the Mariners in their late Sunday game the night before. After a discussion with ESPN's Joe Morgan and another with Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, Griffey changed his mind, and then won the Derby at Coors Field.
In Spanish the event is televised on Spanish language network ESPN Deportes.ESPN Radio also carries the event annually.
The Major League Baseball All-Star Game, also known as the "Midsummer Classic", is an annual professional baseball game sanctioned by Major League Baseball (MLB) contested between players from the American League (AL) and the National League (NL), currently selected by fans for starting fielders, by managers for pitchers, and by managers and players for reserves.
The game usually occurs on either the second or third Tuesday in July, and is meant to mark a symbolic halfway-point in the MLB season (though not the mathematical halfway-point which, for most seasons, is usually found within the previous calendar week). Both of the major leagues share a common All-Star break, with no regular-season games scheduled on the day before or the day after the All-Star Game itself. Some additional events and festivities associated with the game take place each year close to and during this break in the regular season.
No official MLB All-Star Game was held in 1945 including the official selection of players due to World War II travel restrictions. For a brief period in MLB history, players were named to the AL roster and NL roster for two All-Star Games held during the 1959, 1960, 1961, and 1962 seasons, but this format was subsequently abandoned.

Home Run Derby 2019 Online
The 2019 MLB All-Star Game will be held at Nationals Park in Washington, DC, and we could not be more excited! Being selected to host one of the most prestigious events in all of sports is a true testament to the incredible atmosphere that our fans have created here in DC. You helped us let Major League Baseball know that #DCisReady, and they heard you loud and clear!
Last year was one of the most exciting Home Run Derbies in recent memory, likely a mixture of a change to a new format plus the crowd able to cheer on one of its own players to victory. This year, the 2019 Home Run Derby will try to duplicate that excitement, with the same timed elimination bracket format and a hometown All-Star for the folks at Petco Park in San Diego to cheer on.
Whatever happens, all the home runs can be watched on ESPN, which is televising the Home Run Derby using Chris Berman on the call alongside Jessica Mendoza and Aaron Boone. Mendoza is the first female Home Run Derby analyst.
The festivities will also be available on Watch ESPN, which will also carry the Spanish ESPN Deportes telecast as well.
The timed rounds and the eight-contestant single-elimination bracket infused some excitement into the 2018 Home Run Derby, which saw Todd Frazier, then of the Cincinnati Reds, outlast Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Joc Pederson in the third and final round with a home run in earned extra time.
Frazier and Pederson each hit 39 combined home runs in their three rounds, just two shy of the Home Run Derby record set by Bobby Abreu back in 2005 in Detroit. There was electricity in the air at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, which went nuts with every Frazier home run.

Home Run Derby 2019 Players
Earlier this week MLB announced the rosters for the 2019 All-Star Game. Well, there is still one spot in each league up for grabs. Those last two spots will be determined by the Final Vote. Here's the latest voting update.
The All-Star Game itself is only one part of the festivities. There's the Futures Game on Sunday, and, of course, the Home Run Derby on Monday. We've already told you who we'd like to see take some hacks in the Home Run Derby. On Thursday, MLB announced the eight participants:
Robinson Cano, Mariners
Adam Duvall, Reds
Todd Frazier, White Sox
Carlos Gonzalez, Rockies
Wil Myers, Padres
Corey Seager, Dodgers
Giancarlo Stanton , Miami Marlins
Mark Trumbo, Orioles
Frazier, who won last year's Home Run Derby, will indeed get a chance to defend his crown. That's a no-brainer, right? The winner should always get a chance to defend his title the following season. It should be an automatic bid. Cano has a Home Run Derby title to his credit too.

Home Run Derby 2019 Results
Cue the monotonous announcement of yet another drawn out batting practice environment to determine the Home Run Derby 2019 winner. You know the one, the Dinger Derby that takes far too long, makes you switch between Call of Duty and probing a bee hive in hopes of producing something more exciting.
Yeah, not so much this time around. This time it was electric. And after it came down to Joc Pederson and the hometown favorite Todd Frazier, Frazier won it 15-14 to claim the 2019 Home Run Derby championship.
Sure, it took some adjusting to. The new rules of four minutes on the clock with only one 45 second break allowed made it seem like a forced event that was moving too quickly. Geez, you can't make anyone happy around here. Anthony Rizzo and his batting practice pitcher seemed out of sync, rushed and unable to find a rhythm. He had eight. Josh Donaldson stepped to the plate and had nine to advance to Round 2.
Okay, it's alright, but I'm not thrilled.
Enter Prince Fielder. Eight of his 13 home runs were over 425 feet. Somewhere some baseballs are huddled in a corner, crying in fear for their fellow baseball lives. But that was nothing compared to Todd Frazier. Home field advantage or no, Frazier made Donkey Kong look like a kitten by the way he sent the ball flying out of the park.
And yes, that nearly happened. Stupid sign. Frazier destroyed a baseball that literally bounced off the Great American Insurance Group giant scoreboard, and would have left the ballpark had it not been in the way. Frazier had 13 by the end of his four allotted minutes of time. He needed just one more to advance. Really, I feel bad for those baseballs (not really).
