The Home Run Derby, but every pitch is a question. Eight hitters, three rounds, swings not seconds — the 2026 format.

• Name a player who fits every clue and it's gone. A wrong name or a take is a swing with nothing to show for it — every swing counts.
• Round 1: 20 swings. The top four of eight advance, seeded by homers (longest homer breaks ties). Semifinal and final: 15 swings, head-to-head. A tie there goes to a three-swing swing-off.
• If your last swing is a homer, you keep swinging until you miss.
• The pitches get nastier every 3 homers: meatball, fastball, slider, splitter, knuckleball. Every round starts back on meatballs.
• Harder pitch + faster answer = a longer home run.
