ATLANTA — Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh continued his historic season Monday evening by winning the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) Home Run Derby. Raleigh defeated Junior Caminero in the Home Run Derby final after he mashed 18 home runs in the final round. Raleigh became the first catcher and switch-hitter to win the annual derby.

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 and Athletics star Brent Rooker both hit 17 home runs in the first round at Truist Park. Both had hit their longest home run at 471 feet. Rather than a swing-off to break the tie, MLB turned to the microscope, finding that Raleigh's homer traveled 470.62 feet, compared to Rooker's 470.54 feet.
