00:09the chop house favorite player

00:11of all time retired when he was

00:12just five years old he said when

00:14I first picked up a bat I wanted

00:19to just go with good wood when

00:21James Wood is sending it that

00:22will do it that's a great first

00:25effort for James Wood tell you

00:28what that sets the bar 16 you

00:30don't know what kind of home run

00:31derby it's going to be but it

00:32absolutely incredible display how

00:34far that ball went the A's claim

00:35off waivers in 2023 he was

00:38contemplating taking his family to

00:40Japan but since the start of that

00:42season his first for the A's is

00:4489 homers are ninth most in the

00:47majors over that stretch three

00:49right out of the gate including

00:50an absolute now four in his first

00:54five swings I'd say he's in a

00:55pretty good spot and it's simple

00:58it's controlled he stays back no

01:00lead kick Rucker is now tied

01:02wood and he's got two outs to

01:04play with that's gonna go that is

01:06going to go very good round for

01:08Brent Rucker he now moves ahead of

01:10James Wood that the family is

01:13loving the machine that Rucker was

01:16he put on a show you like light

01:18tower power man and somebody who

01:20seems just built for this event

01:23Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay

01:26Rays he hunts the pitch out front

01:29and it's total power it looks like

01:31he's got a bigger bat to one of the

01:33guys that went for length and went

01:34for durability here he replaced

01:36Bregman Jose Ramirez then checked

01:39out so it afforded him the

01:40opportunity to start in the all-star

01:43game and show up and show off in

01:46the home run derby if you look at a

01:48guy that is built for fast rapid

01:50fire home run derby swing attempt no

01:53doubt about it the new leader in the

01:55clubhouse is Junior Caminero take a

01:59breath big fella time to welcome

02:01O'Neal Cruz all six foot seven 240

02:05pounds of Pittsburgh Pirate Cruz said

02:08I like to hit balls far so I think

02:09I'm going to enjoy the home run derby

02:11I like to see a lot welcome to the

02:14derby O'Neal Cruz wow all the

02:17players are standing up including

02:19his teammates all schemes okay the

02:22thing is the bat looks like a

02:23toothpick in his hands that's how

02:25big he is and I said we'd have a

02:27500 foot homer we have one that

02:30one that went out to right center

02:31was 513 feet we thought at the

02:35140 mark he was going to need a big

02:36round after the timeout he put on a

02:38big round so we have a tie at the

02:41top but man was that impressive

02:44that's always nice to go into the

02:45break feeling good about yourself

02:47Byron Buxton needed a ding dong for

02:50the cycle what does he do a homer

02:52to center welcome to the derby

02:54right now he's got to get a little

02:56more lift in here and get those

02:57hips going this whole derby for him

03:00was about his son Bricks who said

03:03dad I don't know how many more

03:04years we can do this I want to

03:05bring you the towel and the Gatorade

03:08oh my oh yes I remember the top four

03:11advance and he needs to pass wood

03:14who's sitting there at 16 no clock

03:16just three outs in this round got to

03:18get past that 17 to have a good look

03:20here three guys left he's made for

03:22this not for the clock it's just a

03:24different breed he has to take his

03:26time and now it's a wait and see game

03:28for Byron Buxton who moves into third

03:31place the top four will advance this is

03:35such an incredible year and first half

03:38that Raleigh had he's got more homers

03:40than the first half that he's had in

03:42any regular season 25 seconds to go

03:46yeah that's another there's a dozen

03:48yeah 15 home runs with three outs to

03:53play with and no clock I think I would

03:55go back to lefty I felt I felt like

03:57he was more comfortable left handed

03:59and he's down to his final out

04:00oh he'll keep it going though with a

04:05monster shot don't forget what the

04:07Florida State a lot of tomahawk chops

04:09over there as well oh he has got to

04:1217 clutch two homers with two outs

04:17the word is in that Cal Raleigh had a

04:21baseball at 471 go further so Raleigh

04:24has knocked Rooker out listen to the

04:27place explode for Matt Olsen

04:29ultimately most of these fans have

04:32come for one reason and he is

04:35standing in the batter's box right

04:37now tell you what one thing's going

04:39through his mind right now is get

04:41going to a hot start and I think

04:43that's the main thing he's got to

04:44think about we need Matt Olsen and

04:45he needs to get going here if he wants

04:47to hang around for the next round he

04:50was six years old in 2000 when he

04:51watched Sammy Sosa deliver a derby

04:54title another golf shot to center

04:56oh let's go baby oh everybody's up

05:01now he does it again

05:03what a second half to that first

05:11round for Matt Olsen he's down to his

05:14last out no it will not happen for

05:19Eddie Perez and Matt Olsen tonight

05:25Byron Buxton hit 20 in round one and

05:28every single one of them was to the

05:29left side of center field a little

05:31different here obviously fewer

05:33pitches and only two minutes on the

05:35clock that's going to stay fair yeah

05:36it is look at that big golf the number

05:39is six and you can see the physical

05:42toll that it has taken on him tonight

05:45see if he can get in a little groove

05:47gotta get really selective here

05:49oh fire the mix go out with a bang

05:53the number will be seven for Byron

05:55Buxton and that is what Junior

05:57Caminero will shoot for and now he

05:59knows he has seven so he can be on

06:01cruise control get that first one out

06:03of the way and just get going that

06:05back foot of his is already pointing

06:07almost towards the plate a little

06:09bit this way he's looking to go back

06:11on everything this is going to help

06:13him too now he gets the eight he's

06:15not going to be most tired it's the

06:17hidden gem in baseball the biggest

06:19hidden gem I believe is Junior

06:21Caminero on Tampa Bay well the next

06:23one will move out there you go Junior

06:25Caminero that's it Junior Caminero

06:27will advance as he knocks out Byron

06:32Buxton and he did it in about a

06:35minute that's I was just going to

06:37say he did it with under a minute

06:39he is going to be the favorite

06:40after this I don't care who it is

06:42he's going to be he's not going to

06:43be tired he's ready to go he could

06:45jump right up there right now so

06:47watch out for him in the

06:48championship round oh what a scar

06:53three homers four swings for

06:55Wally there's urgency in these

06:57swings right now because he

06:59understands the power of O'Neal

07:01Cruz he has to put pressure on him

07:04what a different start compared

07:05to Byron Buxton he said bring it

07:07down a little bit to his dad

07:09remember his younger brother is

07:11catching and has the best view of

07:13everybody he's not catching many

07:15baseballs behind home but now it

07:17seems natural to what a natural

07:19left handed swing it is what a

07:21start for Cal Raleigh you know

07:23you can't you got to keep going

07:24he's in that lead dog position

07:26you got to put up a big number

07:28and he's doing it yeah he is easy

07:31pop oh oh yeah pops is doing it

07:34he's grooving it right where he

07:35wants it this is what a homerun

07:37derby champion looks like I ain't

07:39gonna lie that jumper right now is

07:41helping him because he has not

07:42lost his leg 19 for the big jumper

07:46that's a high bar but if anybody

07:49can jump over it in this derby it

07:51might be O'Neal Cruz this is gonna

07:53have to be one of the most

07:54unbelievable comebacks if he's

07:56able to surpass Cal Raleigh here

07:58we've seen a few of those if

07:59there's one guy in this derby

08:01right now that could do it it's

08:02him oh my longest one of the

08:07night look at even him he can't

08:09believe he hit it that far oh

08:11that's nasty if he wants to

08:13continue he's got to hit eight

08:15homers before he makes another

08:17out down to six oh that is not

08:22nearly enough completely and Cal

08:24Raleigh is now one round away

08:29an incredibly created scenario

08:31dad brother pitcher catcher

08:35timeout right now oh big fly to

08:39center to follow up the one that

08:41just got over what a start for

08:44Cal Raleigh just like last time

08:46after he hit a home run he asked

08:47for timeout this guy knows his

08:49swing and look at the path here

08:51eyes to the ball they'll tell you

08:53the story all day they got one

08:55more and he goes deep to center

09:00gone I tell you he looks pretty

09:05cool right now for somebody that's

09:07going through what he's going

09:09through with one out to go listen

09:11to the brother oh yeah oh yeah

09:13all right there's the number Cal

09:17Raleigh 18 ball he's put pressure

09:20on cabin arrow definitely put

09:22pressure on it is it going to be

09:24enough though oh he's got it oh

09:27they counted it though they did

09:29they counted it the umpire counted

09:31it good because that was a home run
