Ahead of the 2025 Home Run Derby, let's take a trip down memory lane and look at the longest homers in the event's history.

The baseball world converged in Atlanta for an entertaining edition with the 2025 MLB Home Run Derby Monday night at Truist Park. After a underwhelming event last year in Texas, fans saw balls soar over 500 feet and a late rally from a hometown slugger.

The Seattle Mariners catcher, nicknamed the “Big Dumper,” beat out Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero in Monday night’s Home Run Derby.

Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino posted about Jazz Chisholm, a formre teammate and communication issues with teammates.

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.

The first thing you notice when a home run ball starts to fly in your direction is that all your preconceived notions of how you’d react in that moment are pretty much wrong.

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.

The 2025 MLB Home Run Derby is tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET on ESPN, and while the established sluggers we know might not be participating, there’s a whole lot of power in this lineup. There are breakout stars,

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.

The fabled torpedo bats were again on center stage at Monday night’s Home Run Derby, as the Mariners' Cal Raleigh took home the title.
