St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker and Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper will participate in the 2026 T-Mobile Home Run Derby. The event is scheduled for July 13 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Walker accepted MLB’s invitation after a breakout season that includes 21 home runs through 89 games. He will be the first Cardinals hitter in the Derby since Albert Pujols in 2022, with bullpen catcher Kleininger Teran throwing to him.
Harper announced his participation on Instagram and aims to win the event at his home ballpark. He previously won the Derby in 2018 and said he will compete only if he intends to win.
Other confirmed participants include Junior Caminero, Ben Rice, Jac Caglianone and Willson Contreras. The Derby airs live at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix.
