Kyle Schwarber

Despite entering as the overwhelming favorite, Philadelphia Phillies' masher Kyle Schwarber fell to Albert Pujols in the first round of the Home Run Derby.

For Pujols to not only hit competitively in the first round but to win is a beautiful performance for what is his final Home Run Derby. His performance in the derby did not reflect that, though, as Schwarber fell a little more than flat, losing in a swing-off against Albert Pujols in the first round. Almost as if the legendary Cardinal put every ounce of his strength into this swing-off performance, Pujols was not messing around in the overtime period.

LOS ANGELES -- Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber entered the T-Mobile Home Run Derby on Monday night as the top seed and one of its favorites.

“I was just trying to find it the whole time and just couldn't get in the groove,” Schwarber said. It wasn’t quite up to the standard he set during his first Derby in 2018. “You go to games, and you try and go sit out in the bleachers so you can catch one of his homers. ,"type":"markdown","__typename":"Markdown"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8":{"contentDate":"2022-07-19T02:06:13.249Z","description":"Kyle Schwarber hits his longest home run of Round 1, a 470-foot homer during the 2022 T-Mobile Home Run Derby","duration":"00:00:13","slug":"kyle-schwarber-hits-470-foot-jack","source":null,"tags":[{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.0","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.1","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.2","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.3","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.4","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.5","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.6","typename":"Tag"}],"templateUrl":"https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/private/{formatInstructions}/mlb/yvol8jbz1ddelgla4nkh","title":"Kyle Schwarber hits 470-foot jack","type":"video","url":"/video/kyle-schwarber-hits-470-foot-jack","__typename":"Video"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.0":{"slug":"teamid-143","title":"Philadelphia Phillies","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.1":{"slug":"playerid-656941","title":"Kyle Schwarber","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.2":{"slug":"home-run","title":"home run","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.3":{"slug":"home-run-derby","title":"Home Run Derby","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.4":{"slug":"all-star","title":"All-Star","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.5":{"slug":"highlight","title":"highlight","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.tags.6":{"slug":"imagen-feed","title":"Imagen feed","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"kyle-schwarber-eliminated-in-round-1-of-2022-home-run-derby\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.9":{"content":"It wasn’t quite up to the standard he set during his first Derby in 2018.

In an early-round upset, Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber lost in the first round of the 2022 Home Run Derby to future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols.

Schwarber will play in the All-Star Game tomorrow night. The Dodger Stadium crowd was clearly pulling for Pujols, a former Dodger who was competing in his fifth and final Derby of this career. The two went to a one-minute swing-off where Pujols hit seven home runs.

The Phillies' Kyle Schwarber had Mike "Money" Sinicola throwing to him at the 2022 MLB Home Run Derby.

Last week, Schwarber was named a Major League Baseball All-Star for the second consecutive season. Schwarber, an NL reserve, is one of 13 players on MLB rosters from Greater Cincinnati high schools, University of Cincinnati or Xavier University. Former Madeira High School standout Andrew Benintendi of the Kansas City Royals was named a first-time American League All-Star, and former Cincinnati Bearcats standout Ian Happ of the Cubs, Schwarber's Chicago teammate of from 2017 to 2020, joins Schwarber among the league's reserves. Mike "Money" Sinicola pitched to Schwarber, just as he did when Schwarber - then with the Chicago Cubs - finished as the runner-up to Bryce Harper in the 2018 MLB Home Run Derby.

But the third, and biggest, controversy is real: Kyle Schwarber was robbed. (I think.) He hit a disappointing 13 home runs over three minutes and his 60 extra ...

People bet real money on this event, and they expect an accurate outcome. It's the Home Run Derby. Neither of these guys won the overall event. Unless visual tricks and/or optical illusions are at play and I'm missing the part where a ball in question lands in the field before bouncing into the crowd... There are two blasts here that appear to be one thing but might in fact be something else. But it seems to have not counted HR17, which I've given a question mark because we never see where it lands. Statcast is only showing three home runs in that area, all of which landed within Schwarber's first 13 dingers. We just don't know. Ruling: we don't know! The most likely scenario here? But this is your problem: you're listening to Ravech. Remember, we're not listening to Ravech anymore. This one is right on the borderline. Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber was taken out by Cardinals legend Albert Pujols in the first round on Monday night, throwing baseball fans and bettors alike for a loop.

Albert Pujols became the feel-good story of this year's Home Run Derby, but his first-round victory over Kyle Schwarber appears to have come with an ...

Controversy over the home run count did not end there. With just 15 seconds remaining in his OT session, Schwarber began to crank home runs with very little intervals between pitches. But ESPN seemingly omitted one of Schwarber’s home runs in OT, prematurely handing Pujols the win.

Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber fell to St. Louis Cardinals future-Hall of Famer Albert Pujols in the first round of the Home Run Derby.

Schwarber's finished with a total of 19, unable to catch Pujols and his total of 20. Here, Pujols finally came alive, mashing seven home runs and putting the pressure on Schwarber to top that total in just under a minute. Pujols started off slow and finished his first round with 10 home runs.

Albert Pujols bested Kyle Schwarber by a single dinger on Monday, but internet sleuths say the rabbit hole goes much deeper.

As the clock expired, the millennial reincarnation of John Kruk came up just one run short of tying Pujols. See for yourself. Conspiracy! Now you can add the Home Run Derby to the list. On Monday night, Kyle Schwarber and MLB legend Albert Pujols squared off in the opening round of the 2022 Home Run Derby. Pujols batted first, launching 20 dingers into orbit. In bonus time, needing seven runs to catch Pujols, Schwarber got hot and started launching. The homers came thick and they came fast, and in the barrage it appeared that ESPN may have missed Schwarber’s 18th home run. The shape of the earth?
