The inaugural TD AMERITRADE College Home Run Derby at Omaha's Rosenblatt Stadium, featuring Siena's Dan Paolini, will be nationally televised Sunday on CBS from 1-2 p.m.
The collegiate home run hitting competition will feature eight of the nation's premier power hitters facing off in an elimination-style format. Competitors were selected from a pool of eligible players that have ranked among the nation's home run leaders during the 2010 college baseball season.
Paolini (Stratford, Conn./Bunnell) led the nation this season with .49 home runs per game, launching a MAAC-record 26 in just 53 games played. His 26 home runs, trail only Jordan Ribera of Fresno State who connected on 27 home runs in 63 games played.
