<\/p>\n\n\nATLANTA \u2013<\/em> On an unforgettable night filled with power, emotion, and records, Cal Raleigh<\/strong> was proclaimed champion of the Home Run Derby 2025<\/em>, defeating Dominican Junior Caminero<\/strong> in the final with a score of 18-15<\/strong>. The Seattle Mariners catcher not only took the trophy: he became the first catcher in history<\/strong> to win the Major League Home Run Derby.\n\nWith his victory, Raleigh joins the legend Ken Griffey Jr.<\/strong> as the only Mariners players to win this title. Griffey won the Derby three times (1994, 1998, and 1999), being an icon of the event.\n\nThe competition was loaded with monster hits. Raleigh accumulated a total distance of 4.39 miles<\/strong> in his home runs, comfortably leading the power table. His rival in the final, Junior Caminero, impressed with 3.63 miles of home runs, confirming his status as one of the great emerging talents in baseball.\n\n\n

Dominican Streak Snapped<\/h3>\n\n\nCaminero sought to extend the Dominican dominance streak in the Derby, but failed to surpass the inspired Raleigh. In five of the last six finals (including this one), a Dominican player was present:\n\n\n

  • Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez (2021 finalist)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Junior Caminero (2025 finalist)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nDespite the defeat, Quisqueya’s talent continues to leave its mark on the Derby, with eight champions in history: Sammy Sosa (2000), Miguel Tejada (2004), Vladimir Guerrero Sr. (2007), David Ortiz (2010), Robinson Can\u00f3 (2011), Juan Soto (2022), Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (2023)<\/strong> and Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez (2024)<\/strong>.\n\n\n
