While the basic idea remains the same, this year’s Derby introduces a brand-new format that supporters and players alike should appreciate. Rather than a traditional time-limited round, sluggers will be given a fixed number of swings per round, with no bracket or bonus rounds in the structure.
Four players confirmed to compete right away: Wilson Contreras (Red Sox), Jac Caglianone (Royals), Ben Rice (Yankees), and Junior Caminero (Rays). Jordan Walker (Cardinals) has also since been confirmed to participate. The Mariners’ Cal Raleigh captured the 2025 Derby, besting Caminero in the final to become the first catcher to win the event. So, who will come out on top in 2026?
