Can a member of the Red Sox bring a Home Run Derby title back to Boston?

Willson Contreras, who has hit 20 home runs this year, is the first Red Sox player to participate in the Home Run Derby since David Ortiz and Adrian Gonzalez back in 2011. He will attempt to beat other sluggers like Junior Caminero, Bryce Harper, Ben Rice and Kyle Schwarber.

This year, participants don't have to worry about a timer. Players will have 20 swings in Round 1 and 15 swings in Round 2 and the final round. The four players with the highest home run totals in the first round will advance to the semifinals and go head-to-head in order to determine the finalists and champion.

Follow along right here for the full results and best highlights from the 2026 Home Run Derby.

It will be Contreras, Caminero, Walker and Schwarber in contention for the trophy.

9:34 p.m. ET: After making things interesting. Harper ended his night with eight home runs. He is out. 

9:31 p.m. ET: Harper hit one over the batter's eye. He then hit his fourth 482 feet. With ten swings left, he had four home runs. It's looking unlikely he can beat Schwarber. 

482 FEET FROM BRYCE HARPER 🔥

9:28 p.m. ET: Harper is up next. Looks like only one member of the Phillies will make it to the next round. 

9:26 p.m. ET: Schwarber continued to hit massive shots. He had nine home runs with two swings left. He ended the first round with ten. Will he survive, or will Bryce Harper take his teammate out?

9:18 p.m. ET: Caminero ended his night with twelve home runs.

9:12 p.m. ET: Junior Caminero, the runner-up from last year, is up next. 

9:09 p.m. ET: Rice struggled to start, with four home runs with seven swings left. His dad was not helping his cause. He ended his night with seven home runs. 

9:04 p.m. ET: Compared to normal Home Run Derby's, where the crowd cheers everything, the crowd in Philadelphia, majority Phillies fans, only cheer for Harper and Schwarber. Fascinating.

9:02 p.m. ET: Ben Rice of the Yankees is next. 

8:56 p.m. ET: Murakami started slow, just like Caglianone. He did start landing big shots to right. Murakami passed Caglianone with nine home runs. His run ended there. 

HERE COMES MURAKAMI #HRDerby

8:47 p.m. ET: With his dad pitching to him, Caglianone struggled at first. With eleven pitches and only one home run, Caglianone started getting hot. He hit one to right field over 477 feet! He hit one over the batter's eye. Oh my! 

8:44 p.m. ET: Young royals player Jac Caglianone is up next. 

8:41 p.m. ET: After a slow start, Walker started crushing the balls. He was tinkering with his swing, which affected his performance. With two swings left, he hit two home runs. With the new rules, the round did not end. But he failed to keep the at-bat going. Walker tied Contreras with 13 home runs. 

Not Philly fans booing after this kid didn’t make the catch 😭
