Cal Raleight, the Slugger of the Seattle sailors who is the leader of the MLB in home runs in the All-Star Break, is the long king of the ball in Atlanta.
And made history in the process.
Raleigh beat the Rays star of Tampa Bay, the Junior Caminero, 18-15, in the final round to win the 2025 home run derby in Truist Park on Monday night to begin the All-Star festivities.

“Big Dumper”, as he is affectionately known, is the first receiver to win the event since he started four decades ago. Raleight is also the second player of the sailors to win, since Ken Griffey Jr., the member of the Hall of Fame that was in the observation of the bank, was the only one before this performance.
Raleigh, who has banned 38 homers in what has become his work season for the sailors, was all smiles when he and his father, who threw him throughout the contest, celebrated the victory.
Like Victor, Raleigh also gets $ 1 million mlb, while Caminero, who met the youngest champion of Derby from all time at age 22, gets $ 750,000 as runner -up.
There was also a moment in the final round, where it seemed that there could have been some controversy, since one of the ball boys fragmenting the racing balls that are not houses in the garden apparently stole a home run.
Caminero entered the round of bonds that needed five homers to win, but did not approach, since he hit too many at stake for Raleight’s victory.
But Raleigh almost could not get out of the first round, since it literally achieved an inch.

The right -handed batter of Athletics, Brent Rooker and Raleigh, surpassed 471 feet in the first round with their longer homers. Being that each one had 17 home runs, Raleigh’s longest ball was reduced to the exact distance and 470.63 feet compared to the 470.53 feet pump of Rooker.
In addition to these two brilliant performances, Pittsburgh Pirates Slugger O’Neil Cruz had the most memorable home run of the night. The left -hander, who has recorded output speeds greater than 120 mph in his career, hit a 513 -foot ball, placing all his frame of 6 feet and 7 inches.
The Star of the Braves of Atlanta, Matt Olsen, was able to have a solid stretch towards the end of her first round, but could not break into the first four. Instead, the last place went to Byron Buxton, who had a large round of bonds to reach the semifinals.
However, Buxton only had seven home runs in the next round, leaving Caminero with only a brand of eight Homer he had to reach. He did it easily and rested a good rest, while Raleigh and Cruz fought in the head.

The young national star of Washington, James Wood, had a respectable home run in the first round, while the New York Yankees team, Jazz Chisholm Jr., could not find the right blow with only three homes counted.
