The annual TD Ameritrade College Home Run Derby showcases some
of college baseball’s premier sluggers, all of whom have ranked
among the nation’s home run leaders during the 2016 season.
“We are proud to once again bring the TD Ameritrade College Home
Run Derby to life,” said Katrina Booker, managing director of
communications and public affairs for TD Ameritrade. “It’s a night
that has, for many, become an annual Independence Day tradition. We
look forward to welcoming this year’s competitors, the
organizations that do so much to enhance the quality of life in our
communities, and fans and families alike to a night at the
ballpark. Thanks to our continued relationship with the Omaha
World-Herald we can promise them a memorable night of baseball and
fireworks.”

New for 2016! Rules of Play ChangeThe College Home Run
Derby includes three rounds of play: Round 1 featuring all
contestants, Round 2 featuring the hitters with the top four scores
after Round 1, and Round 3 featuring the top two sluggers after
Round 2.
New for the 2016 competition, contestants in each round will
have a timed period of four minutes to hit as many home runs as
they can, rather than the traditional 10-out method used in past
derbies. Once the timed period concludes, contestants will have one
final opportunity to hit a home run with the “Bonus Ball.” If
successful, two additional home runs will be added to the
contestant’s total score.
