Cal Raleigh Wins 2025 Derby
Digest more
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.
Seattle Mariners star Cal Raleigh had his father Todd pitch to him at the event, while his 15-year-old brother Todd Jr. played catcher.
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.
Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh made history as the first catcher to win the MLB Home Run Derby, beating Junior Caminero in the final at Truist Park.
