Summary
Jordan Walker and Kyle Schwarber advanced to the 2026 Home Run Derby final after Schwarber beat Willson Contreras 11-9 in one semifinal and Walker eliminated Junior Caminero with seven swings left.
11 homers from Schwarber in the semifinal set a daunting target, and Philadelphia fans loudly backed the Phillies slugger while booing former teammate Contreras throughout his round.
8 homers from Bryce Harper were not enough to stop Schwarber earlier, ending the chance of an all-Phillies final in front of the home crowd at Citizens Bank Park.
The derby is being streamed on Netflix instead of ESPN this year and has returned to a swing-based format after 11 years of timed rounds, with a $1 million prize at stake.
