How to play Home Run Derby

Time your swing to launch as many home runs as possible before outs run out.

Waiting for the exact split-second to swing turns each pitch into a small test of nerve, and connecting clean sends a jolt of satisfaction.

  • Set your loft and power before each pitch
  • Tap the field or press Space right as the pitch arrives
  • Left/Right arrows adjust loft, Up/Down arrows adjust power

💡 Swing timing matters more than power — a well-timed hit clears the fence.

💡 Lower your loft slightly on pitches you time early, since a flatter trajectory still clears the fence without needing maximum power.
