MLB Home Run Derby: Do You Like The New Format?

Congratulations to Cincinnati Reds Third Baseman Todd Frazier, who won Tuesday night's Home Run Derby. The night saw new rules for the event. Did you like the new format?

I thought the pace of the event was faster.  I also like the head-to-head match ups instead of having the two teams hit.  The time outs that are allowed helped.  I always hated the derby when a player was obviously tired and ran out of gas.  The time outs helped the guys recharge and made the derby more interesting.

The only low point I saw is that the second hitter gets the advantage.  Maybe a re-seeded field after the first round next year?   I was also disappointed that Detroit Tigers Outfielder J.D. Martinez wasn't involved.  I like Manny Machado, but is he a better power hitter than J.D?

It was a step in the right direction and hope with a few tweaks it will be better next year.
