How to stream and watch Home Run Derby X in Seoul Korea

London was given a treat. On a warm summer’s day at Crystal Palace Park, the Yankees won the first-ever FTX MLB Home Run Derby X by a narrow 42-40 over rival Red Sox. Homers were fired by the dozen, fans crowded for the best stadium fare and the whole day ended with a concert by AJ Tracey.

The excitement is high as we are almost ready for the second event taking place on September 17th at Paradise City Hotel in Seoul, Korea. Will the Yankees be able to pull off back-to-back victories? Can the Cubs make up for their last place in London? Who will win MVP this time after Yankees superstar Erika Piancastelli took home the award in the first contest?

This is how the rankings look before the event in Seoul. Note: There is a rules update for Seoul. There will be no more third place game. Rather, the third and fourth-placed teams are determined based on the total number of points from the preliminary round games.

Also, the UK national team rookies who were on the roster in London were replaced by KBO Heroes – some of the best baseball players to ever play in Korea. Their presence could very easily mess up the lineups and completely mess up the HRDX leaderboard.

Here is the full schedule for the Seoul event:
