Oneil Cruz enters the Derby with just 16 home runs on the season, but possesses the best raw power in all of baseball with the fastest bat speed and exit velocities that regular stretch towards 120 mph. He could take over this competition if he finds a groove.

MLB's biggest fireworks show of the summer takes place a little more than a week after July 4. The 2025 T-Mobile Home Run Derby is tonight. Eight of the best sluggers in baseball will be swinging for the fences inside Truist Park in Atlanta.

The Seattle Mariners slugger who hit 38 home runs before the All-Star break – the second-most in MLB history – dispatched the Tampa Bay Rays’ 22-year-old Junior Caminero in the final, and is the first catcher to win the Home Run Derby.

Cal Raleigh rolled his wrists, dipped his right shoulder and obliterated 18 final-round blasts, out-slugging Junior Caminero to win the 2025 MLB Home Run Derby on Monday in Atlanta.

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.

"I didn’t think they could hit it this far!” one spectator exclaimed after a particularly astounding Oneil Cruz blast.
