Swing-Off Rules Change All-Star Game | St. Louis Cardinals News

Jordan Walker, Home Run Derby champ, is primed for another spotlight moment at the All-Star Game—this time with a wild new twist: a swing-off to break ties. If the game is knotted after nine innings, three sluggers from each league get three swings apiece to blast homers, and the team with the most dingers wins. It’s a high-octane, fan-fueled showdown born from player negotiations and designed to avoid the slog of extra innings. Last year, Kyle Schwarber lit it up to win MVP in the first-ever swing-off. For the NL, Walker teams up with James Wood and Hunter Goodman; the AL’s trio: Munetaka Murakami, Willson Contreras, and Randy Arozarena. Watch closely—this could be the most electrifying finish in All-Star history. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
