News summary

The 2025 MLB Home Run Derby, held at Truist Park in Atlanta, showcased an electrifying display of power hitting, led by Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who ultimately won the event by blasting numerous home runs deep into the stands. Despite the thrilling slugging from stars like Junior Caminero and James Wood, some participants struggled, notably New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., who hit only three home runs in the first round, the lowest since 2014. The Derby was marked not only by on-field action but also by dramatic moments in the stands, with fans like Jonathan McCright catching balls hit over 500 feet, highlighting the event’s wide-reaching excitement. While the Derby featured many rising stars and veterans, the St. Louis Cardinals continue to lack representation in the event, with their last participant being Albert Pujols during his retirement road trip in 2022. Photographs from the event captured the enthusiasm of players, fans, and the overall festive atmosphere of the All-Star week. The Home Run Derby remains a celebrated showcase of baseball’s most prolific power hitters, blending competitive intensity with fan engagement and memorable moments.
