I assumed the pitch rule was changed/dropped

Clearly there were many times multiple balls were in the air.

A few HR Derby thoughts:

They should just drop the “rule” completely. Guys won’t go much faster, because they’ll tire out

Agreed. Just do whatever you can in 4 mins.

They listed it as a rule on the ESPN graphic but maybe it was outdated.

It’s still a “rule”, they have an “ump” standing to the side pointing at the pitcher when to throw.

Seems like a bad rule if it rewards "smaller" home runs, no?

Which is why it isn’t really enforced

I'm guessing the rule is there to protect the kids in the outfield
