00:00Welcome to the 2026 T-Mobile Home Run Derby for the first time on Netflix, and we are back in
00:07Philly.
00:08Bryce Harper, can he win it at a home ballpark like he did back in 2018 with the Nationals?
00:14I think the whole baseball world wants Kyle or Bryce to win.
00:17Already four homers shy of matching his career high.
00:22Here we are at the All-Star break.
00:23Wilson Contreras having a great run so far.
00:26Is that our first to the Derby?
00:28That's an upper-decker right there.
00:30My God, that was far.
00:32Number two for Wilson.
00:34I think this is pretty impressive right here.
00:36He's not overthinking it.
00:37He's first up.
00:38He's letting it fly when he gets his pitch.
00:40Oh, yeah, that one has no chance to stay in the ballpark.
00:44Off-tank.
00:45Hold on.
00:46Efferless, too.
00:47Efferless.
00:48Even Matt Olsen nods in approval.
00:50And Wilson Contreras on a nice little heater.
00:54Shaka-laka.
00:55He's going to set a pretty nice standard here leading off tonight.
00:58This might be where you take a pitch, but he's not.
01:00Take it.
01:01Yeah.
01:01Take that ball.
01:04Another one to the upper deck.
01:07I got a feeling Contreras is going to the next round already.
01:12I got a feeling this might be the record in the first round, honestly.
01:15He's making it rain.
01:17Here we go.
01:18Here's that final swing.
01:19He's going to take a moment to think about this one again.
01:22If he homers here, he keeps going.
01:24Does that get him another swing?
01:25Might not be enough.
01:29Oh, wow.
01:31Bottom of the wall, but still.
01:33What a great round by Wilson Contreras.
01:3513 homers and 20 swings.
01:38Jordan Walker, the first Cardinal in the derby since Albert Pujols.
01:43Wow.
01:44That's another one.
01:46He looks ready right now.
01:47He looks ready.
01:48He looks ready.
01:48Look ahead and taking his time.
01:50That's what he needs to do.
01:51There's no rush.
01:52You get 20 swings.
01:53However that long that takes, take your time.
01:55Jordan's family here supporting him tonight.
01:57I spoke with his dad, Derek.
01:59I asked him when he knew his son could really play.
02:01He said it started at three years old.
02:03He wouldn't go to sleep without putting his glove under the pillow.
02:06He slept with it every single night.
02:07And then at six years old, he hit the ball over the fence, into the parking lot, hit his grandma's
02:12car.
02:12He was six years old.
02:14I said, was she mad?
02:15He said, equal parts mad.
02:16And this kid is going places.
02:19Wow.
02:20He's locked in, Barry.
02:21He's locked.
02:22This is amazing.
02:23That is another one gone.
02:25One more to tie.
02:27This is it.
02:28One swing left for Jordan Walker.
02:29Can he tie Wilson Contreras?
02:31Oh.
02:32That's gone.
02:32That's gone.
02:33That's gone.
02:34We got it.
02:35There you go.
02:36He's not going to be the first one.
02:37No, he's not.
02:38Yes, he's going with somebody else.
02:39He gets to keep going.
02:40But he gets to keep going.
02:41He gets to keep going.
02:42He gets to keep going.
02:43Top believable.
02:45It's okay, man.
02:46Great job, Jordan.
02:47We have a tie.
02:48Incredible job from Jordan Walker.
02:5013 home runs in his derby debut.
02:54Caminero, who last year in the home run derby, was the runner-up.
02:57It is loud.
02:59Can you talk about the sounds you're hearing right now, Matt, off of his bat?
03:02I mean, we heard it getting into the All-Star break.
03:04He hit ten homers in his final 15 games entering the break.
03:08Those ten homers, more than the total from 14 teams in the league.
03:13He was that hot.
03:15And obviously a favorite in this home run derby when we saw the fastest hands in the league.
03:19He is just cruising right now.
03:22One more to tie the top total in the first round.
03:26There have been eight previous winners from the Dominican Republic.
03:29That one pulled, and that's going to be a foul ball.
03:32But, man, did he hit it a long way.
03:34I think they're calling it.
03:35That's a foul.
03:36So, Junior Caminero with 12 home runs.
03:40We all remember what he did to finish off the All-Star game at Atlanta last year.
03:44The swing off.
03:45Three homers on three pitches.
03:47And it feels like no clock is perfectly suited for a guy whose knowledge of the strike zone, Riz,
03:53is among the best in our game.
03:55Ten homers gets him to the second round.
03:57They're coming in bunches for the Schwerberian.
03:59Oh, yeah.
04:01Get going.
04:02Wait a minute.
04:02I can't even see that one.
04:04He is tied for third on the all-time postseason homerun list.
04:09There's still a lot of canvas left on his Hall of Fame trajectory career.
04:13That is a classic Schwerber Bob.
04:17Hey, there's some urgency here.
04:19Maybe not.
04:20Maybe not.
04:20Maybe there's nothing to worry about.
04:22Casual second Decker.
04:24He's got to hit ten in order to move on to the semifinal.
04:28Yeah.
04:29Oh.
04:30He's got to hit the wheel.
04:32Oh.
04:33Oh.
04:33The crowd is getting into it.
04:36Schwerber's coming.
04:38Oh.
04:39Puncher ticket.
04:40Kyle Schwerber with his tenth to move on to the next round.
04:45The only way Kyle Schwerber doesn't move on is if his teammate moves him out of the way.
04:51Bryce Harper the last to go in the first round.
04:54He can either advance and knock out his teammate Kyle Schwerber.
04:58Or it's Schwerber who gets to the semifinals.
05:02One of the two Phillies is going to go away.
05:05Well, it's a good thing at least one of the Phillies is moving on.
05:08So, we're going to have a for sure excitement in round two no matter what.
05:11Does this feel like 2018 all over again?
05:14Why not?
05:15When Bryce got really hot at the end and ended up winning the whole thing.
05:19One swing left for Bryce Harper.
05:21He needs two home runs if he was a tiebreaker, right?
05:24Correct.
05:24I think they all want homers, more homers.
05:27Wow.
05:28And our semifinals are set.
05:31Bryce Harper's first round nets him eight home runs.
05:34That means Kyle Schwerber will advance as the number four seed.
05:38Junior Caminero put on the show that we all expected in the first round.
05:42His bat speed is just so amazing.
05:45Putting him out, it looks like, with effortless ease and on a line.
05:48I think there's more in the tank from Junior Caminero.
05:51Seven swings left.
05:52Three overs for Junior in his first eight passes.
05:55That one's going to go.
05:56There's such a thing as a sweet swing from a righty.
05:58We just witnessed it.
05:59That was smooth.
06:01Go get that one out of the bushes.
06:02So, nobody got to that bonus stage.
06:05Can Junior get there?
06:07All right.
06:08So, he left the door.
06:09Fear not.
06:10Five homers in 15 swings for Junior Caminero in his semifinal round.
06:15Five home runs is definitely nothing to be ashamed of,
06:18but the window is open for Jordan Walker to really take his toe to the next round.
06:24Look how easy that swing is, and that is mad.
06:27He is getting pretty close to knocking off one of the pre-flop favorites in this poker game here, boys,
06:33because they were big expectations.
06:35Jordan Walker is in three with ten swings left.
06:39He has tied Junior Caminero with five.
06:42He's just sticking them out, and there you have it, moving on to the next round.
06:46Jordan Walker is going to the finals, and there was plenty of canvas left on this, too.
06:52No Cardinal has ever won the Home Run Derby.
06:56No.
06:57So energy.
06:58Enjoy the show, Billy.
07:00Enjoy the show, Billy.
07:02The seven homers came consecutively for that last ball.
07:05Here we go with number eight.
07:07Brandon Marsh loving it.
07:08Six Phillies in the All-Star Game.
07:10They're all here rooting on their teammate.
07:13Oh, yeah.
07:14I just love how high he hits them.
07:16Yes.
07:17Put your hands up.
07:18This crowd is electrified right now.
07:21Oh, what a star.
07:24I think he's just a little shot.
07:26Hey, man, that pressure of the last swing is real.
07:29Wilson Contreras clearly mindful of the fact that he occupies the role of villain tonight in this semifinal run.
07:36I think Wilson knows what it feels like to be a visiting pitcher, to come into Veterans Stadium.
07:41That one's into the shrubbery, by the way, back in the 70s, when you could throw to first as many
07:45times as you wanted to.
07:46Wilson thrives in this atmosphere, though.
07:48He loves the noise.
07:50He loves being the villain.
07:51He plays with such emotion.
07:53This does not faze him.
07:55If anything, it might fuel him.
07:56Wilson Contreras is feeling the ire of every client.
08:01Charge him!
08:03What are you doing, brother?
08:07And Kyle Schwarber's moving on to the final round.
08:12Wow!
08:13It's 49 career home runs for Jordan Walker versus 372 career bombs for Kyle Schwarber.
08:21What a contrast.
08:23What a final matchup.
08:24Oh, no.
08:257 homers and 11 swings.
08:28Come on!
08:28Come on!
08:29Oh, boy!
08:30Good for it, ladies and gentlemen.
08:31Oh, boy!
08:33He's a good set for the real!
08:34He is feeling it, too.
08:36Oh, my God!
08:37Is he going to be the first participant tonight to homer on his final swing?
08:42And this one goes to 11!
08:44This one goes to 11!
08:47Oh, no!
08:48What a round!
08:4911 homers and 15 swings.
08:52And for Jordan Walker, the first-time All-Star and first-time Derby participant, it feels like a really top
08:59horse.
09:00I'm impressed how relaxed he stays.
09:02Here we go.
09:03It's over at last.
09:05Jordan Walker.
09:06We mentioned the eighth Cardinal to participate in the Home Run Derby.
09:09No Cardinal's ever won this thing.
09:11What may or may not be the final swing of the bat tonight.
09:16Here we go!
09:17That's one!
09:18Number nine for Jordan Walker.
09:20That is not done!
09:22Impressive.
09:22Unless!
09:24Unless!
09:25With number ten!
09:27Wow!
09:28Wow!
09:28One more to tie, two to win it.
09:32We are tied!
09:34Jordan Walker can upend the whole thing with a homerun right here.
09:41Wow!
09:42He's in and out!
09:42He's in and out!
09:45Jordan Walker wins it!
09:48One of the craziest home run derbies of all time.
09:53A homer on each of his last six swings to win this thing tonight.
