Monday Final Nationals: Aaron Judge Catapults MLB Home Run Derby on ESPN to 9-Year High

Comments are off

Like Yankees rookie slugger Aaron Judge, ESPN reigned supreme on Monday night with the 2017 edition of “MLB Home Run Derby”, the sport’s perennial pre-All-Star event. From 8-11 p.m., ESPN led among total viewers (approx. 7 million), adults 18-49 (approx. 2.3 rating), adults 18-34 (approx. 1.9 rating), and adults 25-54 (approx. 2.5 rating).

It was the most-watched Home Run Derby telecast since 2008 and the second-most watched since 1999, according to Fast Nationals from Nielsen. ESPN generated an average total live audience of 8.689 million viewers, up 55 percent from last year. The total live audience includes ESPN, ESPN2’s Spanish-language simulcast, ESPN Deportes and English and Spanish streaming viewers.

The event: (1) drew its largest Hispanic audience ever, tripling last year’s viewership; (2) was the most-streamed ESPN MLB event ever, drawing an average minute audience of 209,900 viewers; and (3) reached its highest local ratings in both the New York (10.8 rating) and Los Angeles markets as far as Derby records go back (since 1998).

The Derby’s top five markets were Kansas City (13.6); New York (10.8); Hartford (9.7); Minneapolis (8.7); and Pittsburgh (7.9).
