Which Minnesota Twins outfielder nearly caught Kyle Schwarber’s second home run in the 2026 Field of Dreams Game?

The story behind the answer

Luke Keaschall nearly caught Kyle Schwarber’s second home run in the 2026 Field of Dreams Game.

Schwarber sent his second homer toward the right-field wall several innings after his opening blast. Keaschall tracked the ball, reached it with his glove and briefly appeared to have a chance to make the catch.

The ball was not secured, however, and it landed beyond the wooden fence in the corn. The play therefore became a home run rather than a spectacular outfield catch, giving Schwarber his second homer of the night.

The moment illustrated one unusual feature of the Iowa ballpark: the outfield fence bordered a cornfield, echoing the visual language of the movie. A ball disappearing into the corn was a distinctive part of the event rather than a normal feature of a major-league stadium.
