The 'MLB Home Run Derby winners' quiz

Created on July 14, 2026 | Total tries: 1 | Average Score: 41.0 out of 42 (98%) | Quiz FAQ

When Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber hit 11 home runs on 15 swings in the final round of the 2026 Home Run Derby, he probably thought he was going to pull off the rare feat of winning the event in his home stadium.

Then, Jordan Walker happened.

The St. Louis Cardinals youngster finished with 31 total homers on 47 swings and blasted dingers on his final six swings to walk-off the event, stealing the spotlight from his veteran opponent and earning plenty of Philly boos.

“I once got told they don’t boo nobodies, so it feels pretty good,” Walker, 24, said after the electric victory.

Walker had mashed just 27-combined homers in his first three seasons, but already has 22 in 93 games so far this season.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Walker also managed to accomplish a rare-first for his storied franchise, becoming the first Cardinal to win the Home Run Derby. With that being said, can you name every Home Run Derby winner since the inaugural event in 1985?

Good luck!
