The Seattle Mariners catcher, nicknamed the “Big Dumper,” beat out Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero in Monday night’s Home Run Derby.

There's not much better than the game's best power hitters showing off their strength and skill during the Derby. Tonight, we'll get to witness James Wood, Byron Buxton, Oneil Cruz, Jazz Chisholm, Cal Raleigh, Matt Olson, Junior Caminero and Brent Rooker battle it out to decide the 2025 champion.

Cal Raleigh, the league's home-run leader heading into the All-Star break, headlines the list of competitors in the 2025 Home Run Derby.

MLB home run leader and Seattle Mariners All-Star catcher Cal Raleigh leads a stacked field of sluggers in the 2025 MLB Home Run Derby.

Raleigh will become the second-ever player to switch hit in the Derby ( Adley Rutschman in 2023, lost 2nd round), plus no catcher has ever won the derby. This is year 39 of the event, so odds are against Raleigh despite him being the favorite.

MLB All-Star break begins Monday, July 14, with the Home Run Derby from Truist Park in Atlanta. The format will remain the same as it did in the 2024 edition, where the top four batters after the opening round will advance to a knockout bracket where there will be head-to-head competitions.

And he joins some staggering company. The only other players ever to join the 38-10 club by Game 96? Babe Ruth (1921), Reggie Jackson (1969) and Ken Griffey Jr. (1998).

Fans were not happy with the Detroit Tigers for intentionally walking Cal Raleigh on his last chance to tie Barry Bonds's home run record.
