Power Derby 2025
Lot’s of Folks asking for info on the Derby:
In each division players compete as individuals, participation is optional. Players should attend wearing at least their team cap and jersey. Players are grouped into small contests in which they take turns swinging at BP style pitches. Whenever they swing they either score or make an “out” by reaching certain markers (different for each league). Players are eliminated once they have lost in a group twice. Any player who wins a group at least once gets a derby t-shirt and is slated as part of a “Derby Cup” team representing their division in competion with other players and coaches in a one-night tournament. Eventually as we eliminate more players the final two players both get trophies as Champion and 2nd place finishers. It’s fun and free to participate!
Back to regular bats and balls this year after our one year diversion with the really retro equipment. We will still provide trophies and t-shirts to top performers.
Majors Derby: 17 players competed this year and Truman Smith of the Tigers barely edged out Robert Hilton of the Cubs for the title. Congrats to both.
Senior Derby: 12 players battled with Jeremiah Wagner of the Robins winning the group outright without a defeat and Cam Smith of the Giants finishing second.
Sunset Derby: Hayden Fender of the Angels topped 10 other players to win the Sunset division, Cam Smith become a rare double-winner finishing second in the division representing the Astros.
