Eduardo Pérez joins Buster Olney to discuss Jordan Walker beating Kyle Schwarber in the 2026 Home Run Derby on his last swing, in front of a hostel Philadelphia crowd. They talk about the key to Walker’s victory in the final round, hitters struggling with the magenta balls, Philadelphia fans showing out, how to make the All-Star Game matter again, and the balance of player participation versus needing a break from the game. Then, Buster hits All-Star Game media day and chats with Mason Miller, James Wood, Ernie Clement, Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, Drake Baldwin, Matt Olson and Walker. Later, Buster answers your questions, and Jeff Passan has an about-face on the Home Run Derby format.
