Every year on a Monday in July, Major League Baseball (MLB) holds the Home Run Derby, a tournament in which players try to smash home runs. This event is traditionally held the day before the MLB All-Star Game. To hit a baseball in the fair area beyond the playing field on the fly is to hit a "home run" in the context of the competition. The batter isn't vying with the pitcher and defense to get out of the jam, which is how it differs from a home run hit in legitimate play.

Pitchers in the Home Run Derby typically use a pitching screen to deliberately deliver their pitches at a slower pace and closer to the batter than the official distance of 60 feet 6 inches (18.44 meters). Furthermore, like batting practice, the batter stays in the batter's box following each swing; neither running nor circling the bases is allowed to score a run. Julio Rodríguez surpassed Vladimir Guerrero's 2019 total of 40 home runs in a single round in 2023, setting a new record with 41 home runs.

The batter is also not required to wear a batting helmet, as there is no danger of beanballs because all pitches are thrown in the strike zone. Instead, they can wear any baseball cap they like. Since the batters don't need to worry about the sun during the sunset match, they are free to wear their hats however they like, including backward.
