Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh will headline the bunch, competing against James Wood (Washington Nationals), Byron Buxton (Minnesota Twins), Oneil Cruz (Pittsburgh Pirates), Junior Caminero (Tampa Bay Rays), Brent Rooker (Athletics), Jazz Chisholm Jr. (New York Yankee) and Matt Olson (Atlanta Braves).

The Seattle catcher is on a historic pace, hitting 38 home runs before the All-Star break. Some changes he made in the minor leagues have fueled his tear.

Raleigh will become the second-ever player to switch hit in the Derby ( Adley Rutschman in 2023, lost 2nd round), plus no catcher has ever won the derby. This is year 39 of the event, so odds are against Raleigh despite him being the favorite.
