📝 Description:
In a legendary performance at Truist Park, Cal Raleigh became the first-ever catcher (and switch-hitter) to win the Home Run Derby, crushing 54 homers across three rounds and defeating Junior Caminero 18–15 in the final. Backed by a family affair—his dad on the mound and brother behind the plate—he also tied historic Mariners icon Ken Griffey Jr. as Derby champions. With a jaw-dropping 464‑foot shot and elite 105.5 mph exit velocity, Raleigh’s win was unforgettable. Catch all the highlights and hear him reflect on this surreal moment!
