Jordan Walker Stuns Philly to Win Derby | St. Louis Cardinals News

Jordan Walker stunned the Philly crowd with a last-six-swing home run explosion to win the Home Run Derby, becoming the first Cardinals player ever to claim the title at just 24 years old. With boos echoing around him, Walker delivered a slick comeback line: “You don’t boo nobodies,” and sent Albert Pujols watching from the stands into full-on celebration. Kyle Schwarber, runner-up for the second time, battled hard with 30 homers but couldn’t match Walker’s late surge. Walker’s path included a 13-homer first round tie with Contreras and a semifinal win over Caminero, who blasted a jaw-dropping 491-foot homer before exiting. Contreras also shone in his debut, tying Walker for homers in round one, while Bryce Harper fell short in his return.
