Jordan Walker Shatters Cardinals History | St. Louis News

Jordan Walker just shattered history, becoming the first St. Louis Cardinals player ever to win the Home Run Derby — and he did it in front of a hostile Philly crowd. Beating Kyle Schwarber with six straight homers in the final, Walker kept it simple: swing easy, let it happen. His efficiency was insane — 31 homers on just 46 swings — and at 24, he’s now the fifth-youngest champion ever. This win isn’t just a trophy; it’s a $1M payday that dwarfs his entire 2026 salary, and it caps a stunning comeback story for a once-dealt-with prospect. Walker even joked about finally being cheered, not booed — and his pitcher, Kleininger Teran, was key to the perfect game.
