Cal Raleigh's triumph and O'Neill Cruz's jaw-dropping display at the 2025 derby highlight how MLB's All-Star showcase has evolved.

SportsLine's Angelo Magliocca reveals his picks and MLB props for 2025 Home Run Derby at Truist Park in Atlanta, where Cal Raleigh, Oneil Cruz and James Wood are the favorites

In the final between Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh and Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero, the latter slugger hit what appeared to be his sixth homer of the timed portion — until someone with a glove jumped and hauled the ball in. It was unclear in the moment if the ball would have been a homer, but it clearly had potential.

With the top four advancing from the first round, Raleigh tied Brent Rooker (17 home runs) for fourth. The tiebreaker was based on longest home run distance, meaning Raleigh (470.61 feet) advanced, while Rooker (470.53) was eliminated. To be clear: .08 feet is .96 inches. Raleigh advanced by less than one inch.

Salvador Perez secured more home runs in a single MLB season than any other primary catcher, with 48 in 2021. Check out other sluggers on the list.

Oneil Cruz put on a show, a home run robbery that both was and wasn't, Cal Raleigh goes splash and more from Monday's 2025 Home Run Derby.
