Cal Raleigh Wins 2025 Home Run Derby in Atlanta

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh won the 2025 MLB Home Run Derby at Atlanta's Truist Park, with his father pitching and brother catching in a memorable family moment. Raleigh advanced from the first round by tying Brent Rooker and winning a tiebreaker for the longest home run, then edged past Tampa Bay’s Junior Caminero in the final. He hit 54 home runs during the Derby, matching the number needed to equal Mickey Mantle's single-season record for a switch-hitter, and currently leads MLB with 38 home runs at the All-Star break. Oneil Cruz hit a 513-foot home run, one of the longest in Derby history. The event was praised for its dramatic finishes and the emergence of new MLB stars. Raleigh’s Derby performance and season have positioned him as a candidate for one of the greatest seasons ever by a catcher.
