A "home run" in the context of the competition, consists of hitting a baseball in fair territory out of the playing field on the fly. It differs from a home run hit during legal gameplay in that the batter is not competing against a pitcher and a defensive team attempting to make an out. In the Home Run Derby, all pitches are purposefully thrown slowly and at a closer range than the official 60 feet 6 inches (18.44 m) distance, usually by a coach behind a pitching screen.
McCutchen didn't make it out of the first round with four homers, but finished with a higher total than the three Pirates to appear in the Derby before him. Jason Bay ('05) and Bobby Bonilla ('90) went homerless and Barry Bonds hit two in '92. Each player will get five swings, in a bit of a sudden death round, for the right to square off against Fielder. He starts with nine straight outs, including one off the very top of the wall in left field.
The derby was first nationally televised by ESPN in 1993 on a same-day delayed basis, with the first live telecast in 1998. Although two hours are scheduled in programming listings for the telecast, it has rarely ever been contained to the timeslot and consistently runs three to four hours. Chris Berman has gained notoriety for his annual hosting duties on ESPN, including his catchphrase, "Back back back...Gone!".

Yankees' second baseman Robinson Canó was at the center of a controversy involving booing from the live Kauffman Stadium fans.
