It was better in the beginning when the HR derby was structed as a two-inning event with each player receiving five outs per inning. Couldn't agree more. Watching this years derby, the swings necessarily came so fast you couldn't even watch the majestic trajectory of the home runs. The pitchers ability to consistently groove a perfect pitch and the batters ability to cycle into preparedness for the pitches was more important than a hitters long ball talent.

I was working out at my club before the derby. They had old highlights of the HR derby. You make a great point. The play by play was more enjoyable and slower and for sure you had time to enjoy each home run.
