ATLANTA — Cal Raleigh can officially add Home Run Derby champion to his running list of accomplishments this season. The Seattle Mariners catcher outslugged Junior Caminero en route to winning the annual slugging competition.
Backed by his father, Todd, who pitched, and his younger brother, Todd Jr., who served as catcher, Raleigh slugged a total of 54 homers across three rounds, including 18 in the finale to best the 22-year-old slugger from the Tampa Bay Rays.
In winning, Raleigh takes home the $1 million prize and the now-annual Home Run Derby chain. He joins Ken Griffey Jr. as the only Mariners to win the competition, with Griffey winning in 1994, 1998 and 1999. He is also the first catcher to win the event.

Despite the presence of Team Raleigh, it took less than an inch for the backstop to make it from the semifinals. He was tied with the A’s Brent Rooker after the first round, but Raleigh’s longest home run clocked in at 470.61 feet, while Rooker’s longest was 470.53 feet. Distance serves as the tiebreaker in the first round, meaning Raleigh had just enough to make it to the semifinals.
With 19 blasts in the semis, Raleigh had more than enough to hold off Pittsburgh’s Oneil Cruz and his 13 longballs. Caminero topped out at 15 homers.

Perfect 10-team, Pick 4 2025 fantasy football draft strategy, round by round
Trey McBride has been incredibly consistent: McBride finished as a top-six fantasy tight end for over 50% of his games last season.

Pick a quarterback like Jayden Daniels early: By adding one or more players who are the best at their position, it’s easier to stockpile players at other positions. Bijan Robinson ideally falls to third: While some might consider Robinson the top overall option in the draft, in the typical draft, he is a value at third after Ja’Marr Chase and Saquon Barkley.

Perfect 10-team, Pick 2 2025 fantasy football draft strategy, round by round
Bijan Robinson is the ideal first-round pick: It’s possible to land an elite wide receiver in the second round and harder to find an elite running back option in that round, making Robinson the best option in the first round for 10-team leagues. Add a quarterback and tight end early: By finding multiple elite players at both positions, it’s easier to stand out while also stockpiling running backs and wide receivers in the later rounds.
