It was supposed to be Philadelphia's night. Instead, a 23-year-old from St. Louis silenced Citizens Bank Park. In his first-ever appearance, Jordan Walker won the 2026 Home Run Derby — becoming the first Cardinal ever to take home the crown.
The final against hometown hero Kyle Schwarber looked over. Then Walker caught fire — six home runs on his last six swings, including four on the bonus "final ball" — to steal it 12-11 as the crowd that had roared against him fell silent. He took home the $1 million prize and a moment Cardinals fans won't forget.
