New York Mets slugger and two-time winner Pete Alonso joined Philadelphia designated hitter Kyle Schwarber in electing to skip the Home Run Derby.

The Philadelphia Phillies have the National League East lead entering play on Monday. Kyle Schwarber and Zack Wheeler were named All-Stars, but Schwarber has made it clear where he stands on the home run derby.

Schwarber earned his third All-Star selection in 2025—his second with Philadelphia—when rosters were announced last week. Next year’s All-Star Game will be held at Citizens Bank Park, and if Schwarber wants to compete as a member of the Phillies, he’ll need to sign an extension after the season.
