Despite rave reviews for the new Home Run Derby format and an enjoyable All-Star game headlined by young superstars Mike Trout and Bryce Harper, the true measure of success for Major League Baseball would be determined by the number of home viewers they were to attract and keep entertained.
In that regard, the league received what should be considered encouraging news, as its two signature All-Star week events combined for the highest average viewership since 2010.According to a league press release, the events attracted an average of 9.28 million viewers, which was up 700,000 from last season. In particular, the Home Run Derby was success as it made ESPN the most watched network in prime time on Monday.
