Derek Walker, father of Jordan, praised his son’s performance in the 2026 Home Run Derby:
“He was awesome today. I just loved everything about it. Just his attitude, his approach, the smoothness of swing. Looked like his dad. But yeah, he just did a great job. We’re so proud of him.”
He also discussed watching his son develop into a big leaguer and now a Home Run Derby champ:
“From an early age, he always loved the game. He always loved to play baseball. Loved to sleep with his glove. He always had a bat. We traveled with it all the time. He ate, slept, thought baseball, and he just kept progressing. He just kept getting better and better and working on his craft. And again, we can’t be more proud.”
