There will be separate competitions for softball and baseball, so there will be two winners this afternoon. Notably, the softball field fence will be 130 feet away from home plate, while the baseball field fence will be 170 feet away from home plate.
In the Little League World Series Home Run Derby, there will be a total of 16 participants. Eight players will compete in the softball event, while the remaining eight players will compete in the baseball event.
The competition will feature numerous head-to-head battles, and the winner of each battle will advance to the next round. Notably, each participant will have 90 seconds to hit during the first two rounds.
The batters will have plenty of time to prepare for each pitch because they have to wait for the batted ball to hit the ground before receiving another pitch. This rule will give a slight advantage to batters that hit line drive home runs.
In the championship round, there will be more time allotted to the contestants, as they try to win the trophy.
