Cardinals' Jordan Walker wins 2026 MLB Home Run Derby to stun Philly crowd
Дата публикации: 13-07-2026 19:48:00
The hometown Philadelphia crowd was left stunned in the 2026 MLB Home Run Derby on Monday.
St. Louis Cardinals right fielder Jordan Walker clutched up by hitting six straight homers with one swing left in the final round to stun Phillies star Kyle Schwarber.
Walker, 24, became the first ever Cardinal to win the derby, topping all of the odds that were against him.
Schwarber’s final round saw him blast 11 homers out of 15 for his best tally on the night. Walker came in next to loud boos and cheers when he missed, eventually posting 12 homers to mark an incredible finish.
After coming down to his final swing in the new format, Walker rallied off six straight — including four do-or-due swings — to quiet the crowd as Schwarber could only look on. Any miss by Walker would’ve resulted in a swing-off battle. That never happened.
Here is a look at Walker’s derby-winning swing:
The 33-year-old Schwarber also finished second in 2018 when he lost to Bryce Harper in Washington D.C.
The first round opened with Boston Red Sox slugger Willson Contreras recording 13 homers out of 20 swings, finding a soft spot in left field. He had seven homers in his first 10 swings. Walker followed suit with 13 homers, too, with 10 traveling at least 420 feet.
Kansas City Royals’ Jac Caglianone went third and was the first lefty at bat, though he managed just eight homers to fall short of a semifinals berth. Chicago White Sox‘ Munetaka Murakami had a similar showing with nine home runs, starting slow but ending better.

New York Yankees‘ Ben Rice had the lowest score of the first round, mustering only seven home runs before 2025 runner-up Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays put up 12. Nine of those went at least 420 feet.
The first round concluded with the two hometown sluggers. Kyle Schwarber started slow, too, but ended strong with 10, including four straight. Bryce Harper, the 2018 winner, came in last but couldn’t top Schwarber’s total, only blasting eight after gaining steam too late.
In the semifinals, Caminero opened with just five home runs out of 15 total swings in a spiral from his first-round tally. His opponent, Walker, surpassed him with seven swings to go, helping conserve some energy before the final.
The second semifinal saw Schwarber start with nine home runs to energize the home crowd, including seven in a row for the best streak of any slugger to that point. Contreras needed to fight off constant boos (and cheers when he missed) as the villain, but just failed with eight as it came down to his final swing.
Next up is the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT/7 p.m. CT as the American League and National League battle for bragging rights.
