Game Format:

Each game will be scheduled for 6 innings, with no new inning starting after the 1 hour and 45-minute mark. There will be a 7-run limit per inning, except for the final inning, which will be played without a run cap.

Run Rule:
15 after 4 innings, 8 after 5 innings

Why the Run Limit?

Player safety and health are our top priorities. The run limit is in place to help prevent pitcher overuse and reduce the risk of injury throughout the event.

How many games will be played?

Every team will play a minimum of four games, including three pool play games and at least one bracket game. *This is subject to change. 

How is playing time determined?

Playing time is determined with player development as the top priority. Our goal is to provide all athletes with meaningful opportunities to contribute in a structured, competitive environment. Each player is guaranteed at least one full game at their primary position during the event. However, those innings may be spread across multiple games rather than taking place all in one.

How much can I expect my player to pitch?

Pitching innings will be distributed as evenly as possible among all eligible pitchers on the roster. Coaches do reserve the right to adjust pitching opportunities based on in-game performance, workload, and player safety.

How is the batting order created?

Coaches will use a rolling batting order to ensure that all players receive a fair and consistent number of at-bats throughout the event.

Players will participate in a Skills Workout + Data Capture session before gameplay begins. During this session, athletes move through a series of evaluation stations to record measurable performance data while receiving valuable instruction from our staff.
Results from the workout are used to create the player’s official All-Ripken Player Card. This card provides a snapshot of performance and development, giving families a great keepsake as well as a way to track progress year over year.
 
Player Cards are delivered in a digital format within 30 days after the conclusion of the event. Once released, families will also have the option to order physical trading card sets as a lasting memory.
 
The Skills Workout + Player Card Add-On is available for $125 per player.
Players will have the chance to showcase their power in the new All-Ripken HR Derby format, featuring three exciting rounds with adjusted fence distances by age group. Each hitter will advance based on performance, with head-to-head matchups building the excitement all the way to the final round.
 
Every participant will receive a commemorative Futures HR Derby coin, and champions in each age division will take home the coveted Home Run Derby Chain. Additional special prizes will also be awarded, making this a can’t-miss experience.
 
Cost to participate: $95
