Only three players EVER have won the Home Run Derby in their home ballpark (h/t @SlangsonSports) The @Phillies have TWO Via @MLB on X

What happened: Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper are both entered in the Home Run Derby, giving the Philadelphia Phillies two players in this year's field. Only three players in derby history have won the event while playing it in their own team's home ballpark.

Why it matters: Harper and Schwarber last shared a derby field together in 2018, when Harper won it playing in his home stadium. Schwarber joins Harper in the derby field again this year, giving the Phillies a pair of entrants chasing the same distinction.

What to watch: The Home Run Derby airs July 13 at 8 p.m. ET.
