Cal Raleigh Wins 2025 Home Run Derby
Cal Raleigh continued his elite power surge on Monday, taking home the trophy in the T-Mobile Home Run Derby in Atlanta. With his dad as the pitcher and his younger brother as the catcher, Raleigh became the first catcher and switch-hitter to win the Derby. The 28-year-old barely made it out of the first round, tying with Brent Rooker for the fourth spot with 17 HR but advancing due to his longest homer being one inch farther than Rooker's. He then defeated Oneil Cruz in the semifinals with 13 HR, and bested Junior Caminero in the finals with 18 HR. It seems fitting that Raleigh would win, as he is having a career season and leads baseball with 38 HR. He will head into the second half with a .259/.376/.634 slash line, 65 runs scored, 82 RBI, and 10 stolen bases in 417 plate appearances.
