After a competitive first round and semifinals, first-time All-Star Jordan Walker of the St. Louis Cardinals made history by winning the title, capping off his victory with an incredible streak of six consecutive home runs in the final.
Welcome to the 2026 T-Mobile Home Run Derby for the first time on Netflix and we are back in Philly.
Bryce Harper, can he win it at a home ballpark like he did back in 2018 with the Nationals?
I think the whole baseball world wants Kyle or Bryce to win.
Already four homers shy of matching his career high.
Here we are at the all-star break, Wilson Contreras having a great run so far.
Is that our first of the derby?
That's an uppercut right there. My God, that was hard.
Number two for Wilson.
I think this is pretty impressive right here. He's not overthinking it. He's first up.
He's letting it fly when he gets his pitch.
Oh yeah, that one has no chance to stay in the ballpark.
Hold on. Effortless.
Matt Olsen nods in approval.
Wilson Contreras on a nice little heater.
Shaka-laka.
He's going to set a pretty nice standard here leading off tonight.
This might be where he'd take a pitch, but he's not taking it.
Take that, Paul.
Another one to the upper deck.
I've got a feeling Contreras is going to the next round already.
I have a feeling this might be the record in the first round.
He's making it rain.
Here we go. Here's that final swing.
He's going to take a moment to think about this one again.
If he homers here, he keeps going.
Does that get him another swing?
Might not be enough.
Oh, but still.
What a great round by Wilson Contreras.
13 homers and 20 swings.
Jordan Walker, the first Cardinal in the Derby since Albert Pujols.
Wow.
That's another one.
He looks ready right now.
He looks ready. He looks ready.
Look at him taking his time. That's what he needs to do.
There's no rush. You get 20 swings.
Take your time.
Jordan's family here supporting him tonight.
I spoke with his dad, Derek.
I asked him when he knew his son could really play.
He said it started at three years old.
He wouldn't go to sleep without putting his glove under the pillow.
He slept with it every single night.
And then at six years old, he hit the ball over the fence into the parking lot.
Hit his grandma's car.
He was six years old.
I said, was she mad?
He said, equal parts mad.
And this kid is going places.
Wow.
He's locked in, Barry.
He's locked in.
This is amazing.
That is another one gone.
One more to tie.
This is it.
One swing left for Jordan Walker.
Can he tie Wilson Contreras?
Oh.
That's gone. That's gone. That's gone.
We got him.
There you go.
He's not going to be the first one.
No, he's not.
Unless he's going with somebody else.
He gets to keep going.
He's going to get four.
He gets to keep going.
Unbelievable.
It's okay, man.
Great job doing it.
We have a tie.
Incredible job from Jordan Walker.
13-0.
And Jack Caglione has his work cut out for him.
Jack making his first Derby appearance.
He's the sixth Royal to compete in Home Run Derby.
He got hot around June 1st and hadn't cooled off.
One of the players that would have loved to just keep playing through the
all-star break because he got into the all-star break in such good shape.
And Jack's ready to go.
He's got his dad, Jeff, pitching to him.
Jack Caglione is hitting nukes.
Oh, my goodness.
It's galactic out here.
Jack's in the slot.
He's in the groove.
He's hitting absolute blasts tonight.
He must make the next round.
Oh, my goodness.
This is unreal.
The four in a row that he just treated us to really lit this place up.
Over the batter's eye.
He's down to his last swing now.
And that's going to do it for what was, in a short spurt, a great round.
Jack Caglione with eight home runs.
The first place Chicago White Sox.
Southsiders, it's music to their ears.
The second Japanese-born player to participate.
And this is going to be interesting.
Murakami's never been here, let alone swung the bat here in a home run derby
in a packed house in front of a worldwide audience.
Looks like he knows the way to the home run.
Off to a pretty good start.
This is quite a show.
Let's see if he can catch a rhythm right there.
He turned that baseball into a golf ball.
All right.
So, Murakami's going to keep going here.
He's got nine.
And that's going to do it for Murakami.
Nine runs.
Ben Rice is a first-time all-star.
What a first half he put together.
28 homers.
Only Kyle Schwarber and Jordan Alvarez have hit more to start the season this year.
Dan has some experience out there.
He's a pitcher at Brown University.
You're exposed there.
Number seven for Ben.
All right.
And now the big one.
And I'd love to see one of these last balls go for a while.
Yeah, we had ones on their feet.
This one's going to be a pop-up.
Another pop-up.
The number remains 13.
Caminero, who last year in the home run derby was the runner-up.
It is loud.
Can you talk about the sound you're hearing right now, Matt, off of his bat?
I mean, we heard it getting into the all-star break.
He hit 10 homers in his final 15 games entering the break.
Those 10 homers, more than the total from 14 teams in the league.
It was that hot.
And obviously a favorite in this home run derby when we saw the fastest hands in the league.
He is just cruising right now.
One more to tie the top total in the first round.
There have been eight previous winners from the Dominican Republic.
That one pulled, and that's going to be a foul ball.
But, man, did he hit it a long way.
I think they're calling it.
So, Junior Caminero with 12 home runs.
We all remember what he did to finish off the all-star game in Atlanta last year.
The swing off.
Three homers on three pitches.
And it feels like no clock is perfectly suited for a guy whose knowledge of the strike zone, Riz,
is among the best in our game.
And 10 homers gets him to the second round.
They're coming in bunches for the Schwarbarian.
Oh, yeah.
I didn't even see that one.
The all-time postseason home run list.
With still a lot of canvas left on his Hall of Fame trajectory career.
And it's gone.
That is a classic Schwarbaum.
Hey, there's some urgency here.
Maybe not.
Dual second deckers.
He's got to hit 10 in order to move on to the semifinal.
Yeah.
Here we go.
Brown is getting into it.
Schwarbar's coming.
Puncher ticket.
Kyle Schwarbar with his tenth to move on to the next round.
The only way Kyle Schwarbar doesn't move on is if his teammate moves him out of the way.
Bryce Harper, the last to go in the first round.
He can either advance and knock out his teammate, Kyle Schwarbar,
or it's Schwarbar who gets to the semifinals.
One of the two Phillies is going to go away.
Let's just move in on.
So, we're going to have a for sure excitement in round two no matter what.
Does this feel like 2018 all over again?
Why not?
When Bryce got really hot at the end and ended up winning the whole thing.
One swing left for Bryce Harper.
He needs two home runs if he wants the tiebreaker, right?
Correct.
I think they all want homers.
More homers.
Wow.
And our semifinals are set.
Bryce Harper's first round nets him eight home runs.
That means Kyle Schwarbar will advance as the number four seed.
Junior Caminero put on the show that we all expected in the first round.
His bat speed is just so amazing.
Putting him out it looks like with effortless ease and on a line.
I think there's more in the tank from Junior Caminero.
Seven swings left.
Three homers for Junior in his first eight passes.
That one's going to go.
There's such a thing as a sweet swing from a righty.
We just witnessed it.
That was smooth.
Go get that one out of the bushes.
So nobody got to that bonus stage.
Can Junior get there?
All right, so he left it there.
I hope you're not.
Five homers in 15 swings for Junior Caminero in his semifinal round.
Five home runs is definitely nothing to be ashamed of,
but the window is open for Jordan Walker to really take it to the next round.
Look how easy that swing is.
He is getting pretty close to knocking off one of the pre-flop favorites
in this poker game here, boys, because there were big expectations.
Jordan Walker is in three with ten swings left.
He has tied Junior Caminero with five.
He's just flicking them out, and there you have it.
Moving on to the next round.
Jordan Walker is going to the finals.
And there was plenty of canvas left on this, too.
No cardinal has ever won the home run derby.
Okay.
The seven homers came consecutively.
Six Phillies in the all-star game.
They're all here.
I just love how high he hits them.
Yeah.
This crowd is electrified right now.
He's just stunning.
The pressure of the last swing is real.
Wilson Contreras, clearly mindful,
occupies the role of villain tonight in this semifinal round.
I think Wilson knows what it feels like to be a visiting pitcher,
to come into Veterans Stadium.
That one's into the short break, by the way, back in the 70s,
when you could throw the first as many times as you wanted to.
Wilson thrives in this atmosphere, though.
He loves the noise.
He loves being the villain.
He plays with such emotion.
This does not faze him.
If anything, it might fuel him.
Wilson Contreras is feeling the ire of every.
Oh, Schwarbers moving on to the final round.
Wow.
It's 49 career home runs for Jordan Walker
versus 372 career bombs for Kyle Schwarber.
What a contrast.
What a final matchup.
Seven homers and 11 swings.
Kyle Schwarber.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Santa Maria.
He is feeling it, too.
Is he going to be the first participant tonight to homer on his final swing?
Homers in 15 swings.
And for Jordan Walker, a first-time all-star
and first-time derby participant, it feels like a really tall horse.
I'm impressed how relaxed he stays.
Here we go.
It's over at last.
Jordan Walker.
We mentioned the eighth cardinal to participate.
Won this thing.
What may or may not be the final swing of the bat tonight.
There we go.
That's one.
Number nine for Jordan Walker.
It is not done.
At last.
With number 10.
Wow.
More to tie.
Two to win it.
More to tie.
Jordan Walker can upend the whole thing with a homer.
Jordan Walker.
One of the craziest home run derbies of all time.
A homer on each of his last six swings to win this thing tonight.
