MLB Home Run Derby X is an electric new 3-on-3 baseball format built around power hitting and athletic catching. Each event features four teams, with each team led by an MLB legend. Two semi-finals. One final. Non-stop action.
HRDX is a team-based derby with defense. A single game takes 30 minutes. 3 players per team. Each player gets 1 at-bat of 2 ½ minutes. During an at-bat, the opposing team is in the outfield. Teams earn offensive points for hitting home runs and defensive points for making catches. At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins.
Bonus points are earned by hitting home runs through a centerfield target. During each at-bat, batters can call for a hot streak of 5 swings where everything counts double. In the final minute of an at-bat, batters can tag in a teammate to finish with a flourish.
