News: the Home Run Derby is ditching the clock. MLB is using a "swings" system in this year's derby. Derby has had a clock since 2015.
1st round: 20 swings
2nd and 3rd: 15 hacks.

(Deleted original post here which called it an "outs" system.)

The second was Josh Hart should’ve been whistled for a foul on Stephon Castle with 1:03 left.
