Mariners fans, it’s official: Cal Raleigh is your 2025 Home Run Derby Champion. Cal becomes just the 8th Mariner to participate and only the second to win the whole thing, and the first primary catcher to win the derby as well. With just 14 home runs and a single inch of distance, Cal Raleigh cleared the rest of the field to take home the hardware. There are often worries that the derby can affect a player's swing, but considering all of Cal’s hits so far in July have been home runs, I feel like he doesn’t have anything to worry about.
