Episode Details

Jordan Walker just stunned the baseball world by winning the Home Run Derby in Philly, outpacing hometown hero Kyle Schwarber in a nail-biting finale that had 40,000 fans booing. At just 24, he’s the youngest winner since 2008 and the first Cardinal to ever claim the title — and he did it with a jaw-dropping six homers in a row to tie and then surpass Schwarber’s 11. Despite a slow start to his career, Walker’s 22 homers this season show he’s hitting his stride. He stayed calm under fire, even tossing out the line “you don’t boo nobodies,” and praised Philly fans for loving their players. Next year’s Derby heads to Chicago — can Walker keep this momentum going?
