Walker Wins Derby, Caminero Hits Big | St. Louis Cardinals News

Jordan Walker crushed it at this year’s Home Run Derby, winning $1 million with a jaw-dropping homer on the final pitch—beating Kyle Schwarber in a nail-biting showdown. Walker’s payday even eclipsed his entire Cardinals salary, while Schwarber and the other six competitors each walked away with $500K and $150K respectively. Junior Caminero added $100K for hitting the longest blast at 491 feet, turning his night into a financial windfall. With fan-favorite new swing-focused rules keeping the energy high, MLB may keep this format going—and for rising stars like Walker and Caminero, these payouts aren’t just bonuses—they’re career-changing cash.
