Jordan Walker walks-off Home Run Derby, Kyle Schwarber's bid falls short in front of hometown crowd & All-Star Game preview

History was made at Citizens Bank Park on Monday night when Jordan Walker became the first-ever member of the St. Louis Cardinals to win the Home Run Derby. While the Philadelphia crowd showed its brotherly love attitude toward the Cardinals' young slugger, many were left shell-shocked following his improbable final-round comeback against hometown favorite Kyle Schwarber.

On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, live from Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down all the action from the drama-filled Derby. They also highlight the impressive performances from Willson Contreras and Junior Caminero, share their thoughts on the new format and explain why they're already looking forward to next year's slugfest. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan preview the 2026 MLB All-Star Game and pick who they think will be named MVP.
