MLB Home Run Derby results: Winner, scores, longest HRs and more

The Home Run Derby is one of the most entertaining nights of the MLB calendar and a highlight of All-Star Weekend every year, but that figures to be especially true on Monday night in Philadelphia. This eight-man field is absolutely loaded with some of the most powerful sluggers in the sport, freaks of nature like Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker and Chicago White Sox sensation Munetaka Murakami. But as if that all weren’t enough, we also get to see a raucous home crowd at Citizens Bank Park try to will Philadelphia Phillies stars Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber all the way to the final.

The stars will be out, and you know that one of baseball’s best environments and one of its most homer-friendly stadiums will provide plenty of fireworks. All that’s left is to sit back, figure out your Netflix situation and enjoy the show.

Who will win the 2026 Home Run Derby? What about the longest home run, or the most homers in a single round? And how will this brand-new format shakeout? We’ve got you covered all night long with live updates from Philly.

Who won the 2026 Home Run Derby?

What home-field advantage? It seemed like the baseball gods were willing Kyle Schwarber to a win with the Citizens Bank Park crowd at his back, especially after he put up an impressive 11 homers to open the final round. And then Jordan Walker got to his last swing sitting at eight, the champagne was on ice.

But Walker simply refused to lose, smoking eight homers before making a single out to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The St. Louis Cardinals star caps a breakout first half with a first Derby win in the first Derby of his career, while Schwarber once again winds up the runner-up after also finishing second in 2018.

We got off to a hot start, with both Willson Contreras and Jordan Walker posting healthy totals of 13 homers apiece in their opening rounds. But with this new format, it was unclear just how impressive that number would prove to be. The answer: Pretty impressive! Munetaka Murakami, Jac Caglianone and Ben Rice all failed to even hit double-digits, though Caglianone did manage to reach the third deck in right field on multiple occasions.

It turns out that would be the high-water mark of the night, largely because the swing count dropped from 20 to 15 in the semifinals and finals. Although both Walker and Schwarber gave it a run in a classic of a final, with the former ending on 12 and the latter 11.

Longest home runs

Contreras wasn’t on many radars before the Derby began, but he entered the zone midway through his opening round, peppering the catwalk beyond the left-field seats at CBP with three balls at 475 feet or longer.

Junior Caminero, on the other hand, was an excellent bet for longest homer of the night, and he didn’t disappoint. His 12 homers in the first round put him in second place, and he joined Contreras as the only hitters to crack the 480-foot mark. Right behind him was Harper, who had a disappointing one-and-done performance overall but did hit one 482 feet and nearly out of the stadium entirely.

Caminero was knocked out in the semifinals by Jordan Walker, but not without smoking what wound up standing as the longest homer of the night at a whopping 491 feet.

Updates will be in reverse chronological order, with the most recent at the top.

Jordan Walker vs. Kyle Schwarber – finals

• Jordan Walker total: 12
• Kyle Schwarber total: 11

An instant classic of a finish, as Walker defied a red-hot Schwarber and an even hotter Philadelphia crowd to claim his first Derby title. Walker was the star of the night before the final even began, pacing everyone with 13 in the first round and then waltzing through the semis without even breaking a sweat. Then he walked into the lion’s den and didn’t blink, showcasing just why he’s one of the most dangerous sluggers in the sport.

Jordan Walker vs. Junior Caminero – semifinals

• Jordan Walker total: 6
• Junior Caminero total: 5

Walker has been the most impressive hitter at the Derby so far, cruising past Caminero and into the finals. Despite a 491-foot bomb in the semis, Caminero left himself vulnerable with just five homers in his 15 swings, and sure enough Walker topped that mark with plenty of room to spare. He’ll now wait to see which of Contreras or Schwarber he’ll face for the all the marbles.

Willson Contreras vs. Kyle Schwarber – semifinals

• Kyle Schwarber total: 9
• Willson Contreras total: 8

Our first barnburner of the evening came in the second semifinal, where Schwarber put up a nine-spot and then just hung on to punch his ticket to the final. He got a big assist from the crowd at Citizens Bank Park, which was showering Contreras with boos during his time at the plate and cheering every missed swing (and even one instance in which Contreras’ pitcher accidentally brushed him back with an errant pitch). Contreras got to eight homers with two swings remaining, but two popups doomed him. Now it’s on to the final round, where Schwarber will take on Walker for all the marbles.

First round

Bold =Advanced to semifinals
*=Eliminated

With the first round fully in the books, the field has been cut in half — and there’s at least one shocker already as Bryce Harper is among the hitters who’ve been eliminated. Harper looked like he might chase down teammate Kyle Schwarber in an instance of Phillie-on-Phillie crime, but he petered out over his final few swings and ended in a tie for sixth place with eight dingers overall.

Contreras finishes in first place, winning the tiebreaker with Walker via longest-homer tiebreaker. As the No. 1 seed, he’ll face the No. 4 seed Schwarber in the first semifinal, with No. 2 seed Walker facing Caminero in the other.
