I'd like to see sluggers like Judge, Harper, Ohtani unless of course they're injured, and just let them hit either for numbers or distance. That would intrigue me. I mean Alec Bohm has 11 homers and he's in it?
Outs format got to the point where guys were just taking too many pitches. Instead of outs or time, let's settle on pitches. Each competitor gets 20 total pitches or two minutes, whichever comes first. Third-most and second-most in total distance of homers hit play in a semi-final, winner goes on to play #1 seed in the final.
Need time to admire the bombs instead of the current rapid-fire approach.
How about a hybrid? Longest total distance per competitor --->>> weight each dinger by distance 330 ft (HR1) + 385 ft (HR2) + 400 ft (HR3)... - And the winner at 2.27 miles of homeruns is....

I love this idea! Longest HR rules.
