Dinger Derby Opens MLB Home Run Analytics Platform Powered by Custom AI Engine on May 1
AI-based sports analytics platform enters 2026 season following three straight years of positive results
Dinger Derby, a sports analytics platform focused on MLB home run prediction models, today announced the launch of its fourth season, beginning May 1, 2026.
The company enters the 2026 MLB season following positive historical backtested results across its Rookie, Pro, and All-Star packages, calculated using one-unit flat staking across package selection criteria. Over that three-year period, Dinger Derby reported: +10,388 units and a 65.0% ROI across 15,992 All-Star Package selections; +1,155 units and a 39.4% ROI across 2,935 Pro Package selections; and +282 units and a 30.6% ROI across 922 Rookie Package selections.
“Dinger Derby was built around transparency, disciplined modeling, and long-term performance measurement across full MLB seasons,” said Ethan Block, founder of Dinger Derby. “As we enter our fourth season, our focus remains on providing subscribers with timely, data-driven MLB home run analysis supported by clear performance tracking.”
Dinger Derby’s prediction engine evaluates more than 100 variables per matchup, including bat speed, barrel rate, exit velocity, pitcher velocity, pitch mix, ballpark factors, and weather conditions. Built using a historical database of 6.7 million pitch-level records across 10 years, the model is designed to identify statistical discrepancies between projected home run probability and publicly available odds data.
