Cal Raleigh defeats Junior Caminero, making history as the first catcher to clinch the Home Run Derby.

The Seattle Mariners backstop Cal Raleigh outlasted Rays slugger Junior Caminero to etch his name in baseball history as the first catcher ever to win the Home Run Derby. Not only did he make waves by achieving this feat, but he also became the first switch-hitter to win the Derby outright since Ruben Sierra shared the title in 1989. Entering the All-Star break with a jaw-dropping 38 home runs, Raleigh’s power numbers are nothing short of historic—blasting a tally that would be impressive for any player, let alone a catcher. Raleigh becomes the first catcher to win the MLB Home Run Derby and is sure to carry the momentum into the second half of the season.
