Veteran Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber joins teammate Bryce Harper in Home Run Derby
Schwarber, who leads MLB with 32 homers, will join Harper in the eight-player field as Phillies teammates enter the derby together for the first time since 2018.
- On Friday, Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber confirmed his participation in the Home Run Derby, joining teammate Bryce Harper in the eight-man field at Citizens Bank Park on Monday.
- Harper returns to the Derby for the first time since winning the 2018 event in Washington as a member of the Nationals. He will now compete at his home ballpark as a Phillie.
- Joining the Phillies duo are Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras, Kansas City Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone, Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker, and New York Yankees first baseman Ben Rice.
- MLB replaced the traditional time-based format with a new structure: participants receive 20 swings in the first round, with the top four advancing to semifinals. The competition begins Monday at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix.
- Harper recently proposed allowing hitters to use metal bats during bonus "gold ball" rounds, suggesting it would produce more dramatic home runs. The idea raised safety concerns for fans and outfield personnel handling fly balls.
