Jac Caglianone participated in the Home Run Derby at Citizens Bank Park on July 13, 2026, but was eliminated in the first round. Despite hitting some impressive home runs, including eight in total, he could not match the performance of his peers. Jordan Walker won the event by defeating Kyle Schwarber in the finals.
