St Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker delivered a dramatic walk-off victory over Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber to win the 2026 Home Run Derby, held in Philadelphia during Major League Baseball's All-Star weekend. The result was particularly striking given the home crowd, with Walker silencing the partisan Phillies fans by beating their own star in his final round.

Walker hit 12 home runs in the decisive round, narrowly edging out Schwarber's 11, with his parents watching from the stands as his winning blast landed in the left field seats. MLB used a new derby format this year, giving each of the eight competitors 20 swings, as part of the league's ongoing efforts to refresh the annual competition.
