The last two players added to the Home Run Derby were Swisher and Young. The Yankees didn't want Robinson Cano to participate in the Home Run Derby but they have no problem with Swisher being in the contest. The Yankees want him to be careful but they are pretty confident that Swisher's swing won't be affected. Past history has not been kind to participants in the Home Run Derby odds and many of them struggle in the second half of the season because their swings are all messed up. Cabrera had 22 home runs before Sunday's action and he trailed only Toronto's Jose Bautista for the league lead. Corey Hart had 20, Vernon Wells 19, David Ortiz 17, Matt Holliday, Nick Swisher and Chris Young 15, and Hanley Ramirez had 13.

Four players out of the eight advances to the second round and their totals carry over. The top two players that have the highest total after round two advance to the final. In the final, the home run count is reset to zero. Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton hit 28 home runs in the first round in 2008 and that is the most home runs ever in the first round. Hamilton seemed to be worn out though and lost in the final to Minnesota's Justin Morneau. Last year it was Milwaukee's Prince Fielder just getting past Texas' Nelson Cruz in the final.
