Home Run Derby Game Guide
Home Run Derby is a 10-pitch batting game where timing your swing determines the result. Swing at the perfect instant for a home run, a little off for a double or single, and the pitches get faster as the derby goes on.
- 10 pitches per game
- Timing-based batting
- Daily, weekly, and monthly rankings
How to play
Tap the Swing button as the pitch approaches the sweet zone. A perfectly timed swing scores a home run, a slightly early or late swing scores a double or single, and missing the window entirely counts as an out.
Scoring and leaderboards
A home run is worth 10 points, a double 3 points, and a single 1 point. The game ends automatically after 10 pitches, and logged-in players have their total score submitted to the daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards.
High-score strategy
The first few pitches are slower, but pitches from the 7th onward come in noticeably faster. Use the early pitches to lock in your timing, then wait a touch longer before swinging rather than committing early.
Play Tips
- Use the first 3 pitches to calibrate your swing timing.
- React a beat faster once the late-game pitches speed up.
- Stacking singles and doubles is a solid strategy when home runs aren't landing.
