The CTL Home Run Derby returns for 2017. This will be the third time we hold the event after the very successful 2016 version last year won by Travis Mistretta of the Angels, And the one other league wide HR Derby back in 2009 when Dan Beecher (Bristol Knights) took home the title at Riverfront Park in Glastonbury. This year once again we are playing at our leagues smallest park, especially for lefties… Martin Park in East Hartford. We expect to see the ball flying over the fence a lot at Martin Park.
We are emailing out all the specifics to all the managers, and are asking them to forward the info and rules to all their prospective players.
Here are some of the basics…
It starts at 6pm… be there by 5:45 to sign up.
Cost is $20 per entrant. Winner takes all.
Batting order will be randomly selected at the event.
10 outs per batter, but there also is a time limit per batter… whatever you run out of first, time or outs.
All players need to play the field when not batting or on deck… either shagging in the OF, pitching, or catching.
All teams sending players need to supply at least 5 decent game balls.
