2026 MLB Home Run Derby payouts: Jordan Walker tops list with $1M
The 2026 MLB Home Run Derby made its Netflix debut on Monday night, and delivered in a big way thanks to St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker.
Walker made an epic comeback on his final swing, blasting four homers to spoil hometown favorite Kyle Schwarber and the Philadelphia Phillies fans’ night at Citizens Bank Park.
Not only did Walker become the first Cardinals player in history to win the Derby, he is the second-youngest player of all time to claim the crown. He also got to take home a cool $1 million for his efforts, while Schwarber earned $500,000 as the runner-up.
