The 2022 MLB All-Star Game just got a whole lot more interesting. The league has shockingly decided to add a Home Run Derby rule to this year's Midsummer Classic, as reported by Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com.

Typically the All-Star Game is preceded by a Home Run Derby a day earlier. But in the event of an All-Star tie after nine innings, another Home Run Derby will break out.

Beginning with Tuesday night’s All-Star Game presented by MasterCard and continuing at least through the life of the current collective bargaining agreement, any All-Star Game tied after nine innings will be settled not with extra innings but with an All-Star Tiebreaker decided by dingers.

No more extra innings! If the MLB All-Star Game is tied after nine innings, a Home Run Derby will ensue. Here's what will happen.

The American and National League managers will each choose three players, with one alternate in case of an injury. Here are the three “tentative” players chosen for both sides.

Three coaches will be chosen to throw batting practice.

The American League and National League sluggers who are chosen will each take three swings. The American League will hit first, followed by the National League in alternating fashion. The team with the most home runs after that round will be declared the winner of the All-Star Game.

If a tie remains, the managers will choose one player- who must be one of the original three chosen or the alternate- to break the tie.

From a logistics standpoint, play will be paused, and the grounds crew will “reconfigure” Dodger Stadium. The new rue was negotiated as part of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The new CBA is slated to run through the 2026 season.
