The hardwear reportedly weighs three pounds and includes 1,000 stones. And as if that wasn’t enough, the nautical compass on the chain can spin.
This isn’t the first time MLB will hand out jewelry for the Home Run Derby champion.
MLB Home Run Derby chains through the years
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso earned the first two MLB Home Run Derby chains.
He won the inaugural chain by winning the 2019 derby in Cleveland. Two years later, he defended his title and took home another chain in Colorado.
In 2022, then-Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto was awarded the Home Run Derby chain for his performance at Dodger Stadium.
MLB Home Run Derby prize money and trophy
The 2023 Home Run Derby champion will get a lot more than the chain.
There is a $2.5 million prize pool for the derby with $1 million given to the winner, $750,000 for the runner-up and the rest going to the remaining six competitors.
The league also hands out a trophy each year featuring two silver bats.
